“Know that wayfarers among the mystics and the saints possess four journeys: the first of them is the journey from creation to God; the second of them is the journey in God with God; the third journey is the opposite of the first because it is from God to creation with God; and the fourth is the opposite of the second because it is with God in creation . . . I have arranged my writing to correspond to their movement through lights and signs in four journeys and I have named it the ‘Transcendent Philosophy of the Four Journeys of the Intellect’” – Mulla Sadra
