Abstract

This article describes the interaction between SUFISM and the Iranian cultures. In spite of cultural and lingual evolutions over the recent 150 years and the impressionability from the world culture and new life that is placed in the network of world communication, still many of the Sufi values, lexicons and terms are currently being used. So this is not strange to see that Sufi (dervish's) presence overshadows our folktales.Sufi (Dervish) is often the symbol of a man who relies on God and who is released of being the slave of power, wealth, prestige ethnicity and even borders of place and time. This article looks at some folktales concerning some old Sufis, tales which express a way of training and punishing the soul, self-making (self-educating) and establishment a deep evolution in the soul. A fully developed folktale becomes the plan for a real person's biography. Some Sufi viewpoints are indicative of the fact that love stories and failures in love are the basis and the cause of diligence and deep evolution of the soul that is what psychologists call sublimation. Practical and theoretical basis of Sufi trainings (especially its folkloric anecdotes) are: asceticism, imagination, greatness, errantry, forbearance, coexistence with other religions, leading to soothing the problems. The Sufi prevails in the face of difficult and exhausting rules of nature, even Demon, Pixie and death. Deep-rooted wishes are accomplished and translated into the reality after forbearance. We may face strange and even "digressive" imaginations and depicting which can be considered from different aspects like: sublimation, cultural contradictions, ethnological problems, the relationship between the human beings and God, human and world, between human and himself, human and nature, and human and others.
