Surrealism and its Inspiration from Mystical Literature

The most debatable school of literature in twentieth century, Surrealism, by onsidering all of its influences on the world of literature, has not been ignored in ersian literature. It seems that the sursensuous experiences of Gnostics and their Shathyyat " are the origins of Surrealism, which appeared in Europe later. Seeking for Mysticism in human's soul, is as the same as seeking for Surrealism in the unconscious mind, which has used a lot from Frauid's ideas in this case. For Gnostic, the manifestation of the superior reality of the life are soul and heart, and for Surrealist it's the depth of mind and the unconscious mind, which should be discovered. The results of long-term mystical inspiration, and the short and transient struggles of Surrealist, to some extent, can be considered equal. But the gnostic's assurance to real religious believes, and the lack of such a belief in Surrealism, caused the Mysticism's wealth in comparing with Surrealism. By considering the close similarities between Surrealism and Mysticism, we can see that the entrance of Mysticism into the practical gnostic's life, led to it's growth and development. Surrealism has been deprived from this wonderful development because of its isolation from the real life.
