Mullā ʻAbd al-Razzāq Kāshāni The Analysis of One Hundred Mystical Abodes Based on the Levels of Man's Inner Dimensions in His Thought

Divine mystics have understood man as an outspread reality and expanded effluence that is a limitless creature in terms of his perfections with no limitation. Man is a novel mixture whose mystery is from Divine World, his spirit is from immaterial world, and his body is from material world. He feels the final state of nearness to God through passing inner worlds and reaching to his depths of reality. Based on seven inner dimensions of religious texts and inner dimensions of world of existence, seven inner dimensions have been considered for man, which are called "human seven inner dimensions". These inner levels are called respectively "soul", "heart", "intellect", " spirit", "mystery", " hidden", and "most hidden".Mullā ʻAbd al-Razzāq Kāshāni has referred to the three main stages in man's existence as "soul", "heart", and "spirit". He has mentioned seven inner dimensions and then ten inner dimensions by expanding these modes of being and has analyzed and explained the logical arrangement of one hundred abodes discussed by Khawajah 'Abdullāh Ansari, using the principle of "human seven inner dimensions".
