Persian mysticism, or the Persian love tradition,[citation needed] is a traditional interpretation of existence, life and love, reliant upon revelatory and heart-felt principles in reasoning. Though partially sourced from the mystical Zoroastrian traditions of the Persian Empire, in its contemporary practical aspects it is now synonymous with Sufism in contemporary Iran.[1]

Thought
Persian mystical thought has been analysed critically by Abdolhossein Zarrinkoub,[citation needed] Abdolkarim Soroush,[citation needed] and Dariush Shayegan.[citation needed] In Rumi, one can find love-based mysticism; in Hafiz the pleasure-based mysticism. Under Rumi's influences, Abdolkarim Soroush is currently working on power-based or epic mysticism.[2][3]
