Abstract
One of the concepts that has an important place in mystical texts, especially in the thought and works of Molavi, is pain and suffering. Also, special attention has been paid to these two concepts in the knowledge of psychoanalysis and in Jacques Lacan's thoughts. By rereading Freud's opinions, Lacan was able to have a new interpretation of the concept beyond the principle of pleasure, which is known as jouissance. In this research, we have tried to reread the concept of suffering and pain in Molavi's thought by considering the concept of jouissance in the Lacanian way, and the relationship between jouissance and phallus by relying on the holy traveller as a psychotic subject and Molavi in the position of an elder or mentor as a pervert subject and the God as a Let's represent another. This research has been conducted in the qualitative analysis method and according to the evidence obtained, we have shown that, first, the holy traveller must identify his ego as an alienating ego. Second, jouissance is pain combined with pleasure that appears as a symptom. The source of such an experience is the holy traveller's ecstatic and astonishment along with his silence. The third is that the mystical discourse is representative of the master's discourse; Because the holy traveller in this discourse is required to obey the will of another. Fourthly, the holy traveller as a psychotic subject and Molavi in the position of an master as a pervert subject.
