Abstract

The problem of the relation between death and immortality on the meaning of life in the authorities of thinkers such as Tolstoy and Mulla Sadra has been considered as one of the fundamental issues. Once Tolstoy felt absurdity, decided to find a solution. After various trips and studying different Sciences, specially researching in lives of different groups of people, both nihilists and those who consider life meaningfully, came to a conclusion that immortality of human is essential to having meaningful life, otherwise happiness and meaningfulness of life would be hallucination, this conclusion is result of induction and study on people's lives not result of philosophical system.
However, Mulla Sadra, according to his particular philosophical system which designed based on regular participles, proved that human being is physical created and spiritual survival, and soul and body have union relation. Also, soul impressed with moral virtues and obeyed shariat's orders, achieve spirituality, abstraction and immortality.  Ultimate goal of human life is achieving the origin of being, and because the origin of being has no end, thus human’s immortality is required to traverse the road of life. Therefore, proving the world of grief   and resurrection, Mulla Sadra implies that human traverse is infinite: and this interprataion of life and death not only isn’t trouble and meaningless, but also results in a dynamic, hopefully, calm and meaningful life.
