Abstract
In divine schools and religious systems, spirituality has always had effective connection with politics. Because of their misunderstanding of these two categories, some historical trends, on the opposite side, have denied the proper and effective relationship between them. To answer to this important question that ‘how the connection between spirituality and politics is realized?’, this paper by methods and data originated in transcendental wisdom, has attempted to provide a proper understanding of the categories of ‘spirituality’ and ‘religious politics’, and then offer a clear and reasonable explanation of the connection between them.
The results of this paper indicate that ‘human spiritual evolution’ is a conscious substantial movement that promotes man to the highest perfections of being, and this fact is realized only through the mediation of man’s conventional actions and voluntary commitments. On the other hand, politics is among the most important parts of human conventional life, its function affects the actions of others to achieve the general interests of community, and this, of course, is not realized without the guidance of religion, as a set of conventional doctrines based on spiritual truths.
