Abstract

The present article is set out to prove "The All-Perfection of the Truth of Existence" through employing principles such as independence and simplicity of the truth of existence. By proving the all-perfection of the truth of existence and based on the infinity of this truth, 'Everlasting Accompaniment' of the truth of existence with its manifestations can be concluded. By the same token, this accompaniment can subtly lead the manifestations of the truth of existence to enjoy all-perfection. Not only the infinity of the truth of existence, but also the principles including infinity of the Lord attributes, the idea of existence, the non-interruption of inexistence in existence, congruity of appearance with manifestation, the compatibility of the universes, grace principle, and the principle of best possible world can also subtly lead to prove the all-perfection of the truth of existence and its everlasting accompaniment with manifestations. The all-perfection of the manifestations of the truth of existence is faced with challenges including the necessity of existence to be present in the manifestations of the truth of existence, the lack of perceiving the perfections related to the manifestations of existence, and the limited power of self-existent which, in the author's opinion, can be solved by considering the foundation, principles and approaches such as predication of truth and subtlety, limitation of human perceptive faculties , intensification of perception, and non-attachment of supreme power to impossible matters.
