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] Persian mystical thought has been analysed critically by Abdolhossein Zarrinkoub,[citation needed] Abdolkarim Soroush,[citation needed] and Dariush Shayegan.
Under Rumi's influences, Abdolkarim Soroush is currently working on power-based or epic mysticism.
[2][3] Persian mysticism has a significant impact on Iranian modern art.
