Position of Mentor in Mystical Journey: As Viewed by Kobraviah Mystics

This paper examines the role of mentor in Kobraviah Tariqa, which has a pivotal role. Mentor, as the instructor, is the one who has achieved the self nonexistent doom and upon receiving the Mohammadan light he facilitates the spiritual birth of devotees and dresses them with sincerity clothing. In symbolism of colors in Kobraviah, the color of cloth is appropriate with the journey of the devotee. Mentor should be knowledgeable and operational in terms of Shariah, Tariqa, and reality. Such a person whose willing is doomed in the willing of God is protected by Him.In Kobraviah Tariqa, mentor is the pivot of Tariqa. He is familiar with the path and destructives and corruptions and can heal the inner diseases of his disciple and take him to the destination safe and sound. It is under the shadow of the mentor that the disciple is saved from Satan and his spirit and can witness God in the mirror of his mentor. In the end, it should be told that despite the necessity of his being in Sufism, there are some false mentors who are able to destroy the spiritual linkage of disciple. False mentors imitate the words of mouths of perfect men. The way to find real mentor is something destined and the grace of God and through the affinity rule and homogeneity and relations of the disciple and mentor that real mentor will be recognized.
