Abstract

Modern thought, focusing on spatiotemporal connections of human beings and emphasizing science, technology, and earthy bliss, has ignored the idea of ultimate and otherworldly bliss as a form of asceticism. It thus filled with Nihilism and Dysphoria. It was while human beings in the classic world emphasizing the hereafter bliss were ignoring the importance of life and happiness in this world. Nowhere, neither the results of modern thought nor the classic lifestyle cut off the earthy bliss is desirable. The issue is how to achieve an attitude beyond their problems and obstructions? This article has turned its attention to this issue through a descriptive-analytical method. It seems that on the basis of the Primacy of Existence (Isalat al-Wujud), any duality is artificial and unreal. Insisting on the unity of the modes and moments of reality, we can emphasize the unity of the soul and body, saying that happiness in this world and that world are in parallel. The result according to us is that the path of heaven passes through the earth, and the prosperity of the other world as the interior of this world can be possible only through the prosperity and protection of the present one.
