ANALOGNA UČENJA NEKIH MISTIKA IZ DOBA PATRISTIKE I SUFIJA O MISTIČKOM ISKUSTVU
THE ANALOG TEACHINGS OF CHRISTIAN MYSTICS FROM THE TIMES OF THE PATRISTIC AND THE SUFIS OF MYSTICAL EXPERIENCE

Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the analog teachings of Christian mystics from the times of patristic and the Sufis of mystical experience. On both sides, the mystical experience is the only way to overcome the split between transcendence and immanence. The act of union with God is achieved by acts of the heart in which God makes himself present through two properties: love and knowledge. Therefore, unity is the most common term in the literature of Christian mystics from the times of the Church Fathers and Sufis. Everything is meaningless without the term-links finite and the infinite, man and God. What some philosophers say that thought is the essence of God's being, and some, though, that being the essence of God, mystics of both traditions believe that love is the essence of God's battle. It is an all-encompassing reality as are thought and being.
