Referring Efficiency Cause to the Manifestation of Transcendent Philosophy

Peripatetics believe that God created the world apart from himself. With acceptance of diversity in the world and with adopting a series of longitudinal causes, they make God as an efficiency cause at the top of the world. Illuminati also believed in diversity in the universe. Creation in their viewpoint is illumination, and similar to ray of sun, the world is a gleam of gleams from Light of lights. Mystics, unlike peripatetics and illuminati, believe to personal unity of existence. The world, from their viewpoint, is like a mirror which manifests Divine attributes and names in plural forms as the appearances of this Unit existence. In view of mystical, rather than divine efficiency cause, appearance or manifestation is proposed. In transcendent philosophy, mere existence is unit but also diverges in its unity, so that both unity and diversity is true. The universe consists of objective existents, so that inferior existent (effect) dependent to superior (cause) and superior keeps inferior. But at the top of Sadra’s philosophy—where his philosophy reaches to mysticism—the Unity is true and diversity is figurative. Genuineness disproves from other beings (not from appearances of them) and the efficiency cause reverses to the manifestation. This is not turning from early view, because these comments are not only in marked contrast but also in accordance with each other.
