چکیده:
Ibn Sina is one of the rare philosophers who, based on the knowledge of the soul, has revealed the secret of his personal experience in the form of three allegorical treatises. Ibn Sina's treatise Al-Tair is one of his mystical treatises which depicts the mystical states of man and the way of man towards the truth in the form of a beautiful allegory. In this treatise, the seeker is likened to a bird who, by freeing himself from the attachments of this world and with the help of the elder and guide of the path, achieves his true desire. In this article, we intend to explain some of Ibn Sina's mystical views in the process of the mystic's mystical journey to reach the highest level of truth. This article, after outlining the generalities and a brief description of the original story, will provide interpretation and analysis of the story and will express the views and main mystical elements of Ibn Sina.

Ibn Sina’s *Resalat al-Tayr* is one of his mystical treatises that beautifully depicts the mystical states of human beings and the manner of their spiritual journey towards God. In this treatise, the seeker is likened to a bird that reaches its true goal by freeing itself from worldly attachments and with the help of a spiritual master.
[۱۲] This article links the meaning of life in Ibn Sina’s view to the immortality of the soul, the existence of God, the cognitive power of the intellect, and the possibility of human evolution to the station of permanent connection with the Active Intellect.
To prevent the brother of truth and the mystic from falling into this trap, Ibn Sina advises them to understand the station of the ant and the worm.
- Flight (Leaping Towards the World of Meaning) After experiencing the death of the pleasures and passions of the self and the birth of spiritual life, Ibn Sina advises the brother of truth to fly.
In conclusion, Ibn Sina presents nine stations in these pieces of advice; the station of the hedgehog (covering); the station of the snake (drinking and liberation from the self); the station of the worm and ant (harmlessness and concealment in the journey); the station of the scorpion (readiness and discomfort); the station of the bird (jumping towards the world meaning); the station of the ostrich (swallowing anger); the station of the viper (surrendering to difficult tasks); the station of the salamander (complete piety); and the station of the bat (absolute independence); these nine stations are equal to the number of mountains that Ibn Sina's birds pass behind in the section of the journey of the soul in the Risala al-Tayr until they reach the city of the Great Kingdom.
