Abstract

Knowing the human rational soul and its capacities as the closest way to knowing God the Exalted has a special place in the network of religious knowledge and in philosophy and mysticism. The "goal" of this article that is carried out by "descriptive analytical method" and by relying on library sources, and is based on the noble hadith  of the "Container"(وعاء) that issued by the reliable center of religious knowledge, Hazrat Ali (AS)., is to examine the scope of human existence through the connection between the reality of knowledge and the human rational soul as a container of knowledge and the quality of the union of scientific forms with the soul and the station of nonstop-progress of the rational soul and the optical identity of science. How far is the scope of the reality of the human rational soul as a developmental reality? And what capacity does it have? What is the relationship between concepts such as the embracing reality, the manifestation of the name of all-Embracing, and divine caliphate with existential capacity of human? These mystical, ontological knowledge are studied and explored with the inspiration of the hadith of Container, which indicates the capacity and various fields and scope of human existence.   From the point of view of the "history" of the issue, we are faced with the fact that although in the field of theology and philosophy, long-term research has been done on the nature of the soul and its various dimensions, but the analysis shows that the connection of this research with the precious hadith of "Container" has not been investigated so far.
