In other words; human reason will look for self-discovery and explore the apparent aspects of existence that interpreted as truth symbol. According to Imam Khomeini, the Knowledge should be spiritual in order to gain a high degree of excellence and coordinated with truth. So wisdom unity or in the other words, aspirations and reasoning are the symbols of Imam Mysticism.
