The meaning of tradition from tradition from traditionalist point of view

In traditionalism point of view, Tradition has a relationship with the Truth. Tradition can determine and manifest as well as truth in proper forms, due to time and place needs of human beings. These proper designations and determinations, however, remain always in relation with primary tradition and truth. Religion and revalation are both designations and determinations of the primary Truth. Philosophy (metaphysic), mysticism (tasawut) and theology are the ways of cognate with tradition or genuine Truth. Through this knowledge, role of the perfect and Elect Men is the most prominent. Traditions are able to develop and progress, but they should always accept changes in regards to their original source. Attention to the manifestations of tradition makes man (the artist) reflect the tradition in his art in a symbolic and allegoric form. These symbols and allegories provide the means of relation and link between human beings and primary Tradition (Truth).
