Abstract
Longing is one of mystical states that appeares in the absence of the beloved and must vanish at meeting the beloved. In mystical texts, longing at the joining moment is elaborated on. Some mystics believe that after joining and at the presence of the beloved, longing increases and converts to a state of desire. The continuity of longing or converting caused by the presence of the beloved, in turn, lead to an unending journey to God. The beloved has a myriad of manifestations and the lover in each stage reaches one of the beauties of the beloved. So, the lover has reached one manifestation of the beloved’s beauty and is still striving for understanding and uncovering the other aspects. The beloved’s unconditional enthusiasm and presence is stimulated by the lover’s continuous need to love the beloved. Once the journey to God is over, another journey in God starts. This journey never ends because of the the beloved’s unlimited beauty and glory; hence, the lover remains longing and loving the beloved forever.
