Abstract:

The notion of asceticism, is one of the most important notion, in the sense of a person gaining verbal and behaviour consistency through sufistic culture. Asceticism is to take away everything except Allah and it is not give any more value to God than he deserves, except in Allah. It is pleased with what is; nor is it to worry about absence. It is to be rich with Allah. It is with Allah to be precious and sublime. In fact, the way to have positional, action, mental, emotional consistency and tenacity goes through becoming aware and experiencing the notion of asceticism. With all of these aspects, the asceticism which has positional, action, mental, emotional tenacity, stability and consistency is to catch emotional and mental balance, with avoiding the extreme attitude as well. For this reason, sense of asceticism is a prerequisite of achieving mental health including stable attitude and honesty which has the emotional and mental balance in itself. People with a sense of asceticism establish a balance of mind and soul, and approach life with a healing power, which enhances their decisions on life and creates a joyful energy of life. Therefore, as people who succeed in having a sense of asceticism approach life with consistency, balance and integrity, they also solve their emotional conflicts. Again, through the determination to eliminate their previous negative habits, as well as employing spiritual harmony, they internalize life with the discipline of sincerity. Possessing a sense of asceticism is also a contributing element on one’s cognitive consistency, self-realization, and self-challenging experiences.
