Imam Khomeini's Manner of Mystical Life and Religious Sovereignty

As is commonly believed, mystical manner of life cannot be in agreement with political manner of life. The former is based upon solitude and refraining from sin while the latter upon roguery and trick. Neither mystics may be successful politician with regard to their simplicity and purity nor politicians pure governors. The paper, however, relying on Imam Khomieni`s mystic-politcal manner of life as a true mystic, has intended to show that one can rule justicly and affect international equivalences positively. The necessity of the study with regard to the Divine model of government would be clear. The problem of the paper is descriptive and the relationship of mystics` manner of life and the place of religious sovereignty has been studied in it.
