Affirmative ethic– the collection of virtues and merits in all human
societies– secures the permanence and consistency of human life. In
mystical approach which aims at experiencing the final core of
knowledge, the affirmative ethic is defined differently. In general, there
is no dichotomy between the affirmative ethic and other ethical issues,
but mystics pay more attention to its esoteric dimension than the
exoteric one. Teresa of Avila (1515-1582 C.E.) and Jalāl al-dīn Rūmī
(1208-1274 C.E.) are mystics of two Islamic and Christian traditions
who have taken much notice of affirmative ethic– concepts such as
modesty, sincerity, forgiveness and etc– in their works and have
emphasized to its importance in the course of mystical journey. For
Teresa of Avila modesty is of the utmost importance, so much that one
could call her mysticism the mysticism of modesty. For Rūmī it is
almost the same. From his viewpoint modesty impedes the penetration
of evil into the seeker’s mind, brings man to the position of kingship
among the other creatures and grants him the divine union.
