To Escape from Consciousness According to Mawlavi in Comparison with the Modern Psychology

The modern scientific psychology defines consciousness as the concentration of the self on oneself or presenting oneself in the focus of the self attention. This case, because of the contradiction, causes restlessness and depression, and demonstrates the difference between the real self and the two others, that is, the proper self- the powerful self which can be achieved by the existing possibilities - and the ideal self which demands the achievements of the ideals and fantasies. People, in order to escape from the pains and fears of their consciousness make the self busy by fanciful issues such as alchohol, music, beastly jobs and the like. Mawlavi has explained the same issue carefully and eloquently in Masnavi. According to him, all people resort either to drunkenness or hard working to escape from consciousness in order to prevent pain. In this way, Mawlavi considers science, philosophy and wisdom the ways through which one can make his self busy and escape from consciousness which like the shame of drunkenness creates a gap between human and his original self, consciousness and finally salvation. The latter, the innate incompatibility of the science and philosophy with the original self is not in accordance with the scientific psychology.
