Abharol-Ashegin written by Roozbahan Bagali is one of the most outstanding books about humane and Godly love. Rooazbahan sees love as a heavenly ladder. He believes that the beauty and the goodness of loved one (God) is one the most essential and eternal characteristics of God. According to his view, God manifests himself in the heart of his lovers by the light of goodness and beauty. In this way, the lovers of God achieve happiness and enjoyment of a spiritual love. Roozbahan Bagali was one of the Gnostics who enjoyed a special power of contemplation and spiritual observation. He repeatedly narrated the story of the hair of loved one and its limitlessness in his writings. He was the adorer of God’s goodness and the seeker of God’s manifestation. He wrote Abharol-Ashegin on the basis of three key meanings: love, goodness, and observation. Abharol-Ashegin is a story about love and goodness and the enjoyment of meeting the loved one and its beauty.
Abharol-Ashegin written by Roozbahan is based on three meanings and concepts: love, goodness, and observation (revelation). The other meanings and concepts are based on these three key concepts. Love is a ladder by which the beauty of God can be seen and understood. Goodness and love were accompanied at the beginning of the time. Goodness is one of the characteristics of the God. Human’s beauty is the reflection of God’s beauty, and the origin of human’s goodness is God’s goodness. Therefore, human deserves to be loved. In the ideology of Roozbahan, humane love has a special originality and importance, because it is the ladder of Godly love. It is a tool by which the Gnostic can achieve the Godly love. Through love, the Gnostic can see the beauty of the God and achieve the status of revelatory observations.
