Sloboda kao autentičnost vjerovanja

Abstract

In this work we will treat the issue of freedom in its ontological aspect, as a category immanent to man which finds its true realization through man’s relationship to the transcendental. That relation implies the inward consciousness and freedom of will in submission to God in every state which corresponds to the degree of metaphysical dismantling (tajrīd). transcends the plane of ritualistic uniformity, which, also, presents one aspect of non-freedom. Man at the degree of Tajriid is freed from inside and he expresses his individual experience of God’s presence in his own being in his unique and personal way, and authentic dialogue with God, just like in the story of the Messenger Moses and the shepherd. In that measure in which man is more alert and open to plunging into his own transcendental infinity, he is spiritually awakened, which is a foundational, precondition for the attainment of true freedom. Key words: freedom, tajrid, non-freedom, messenger Moses, pastor, Rumi.
