Abstract
Man is naturally happy and pleasure-seeking. But what is the relationship between happiness and pleasure, the main issue of this research and its study is the view of Martyr Motahari. This research has used the descriptive and analytical method in collecting information in a documentary and library manner, and in processing them. According to the findings, a group of principles as "cancellations" such as the alignment of happiness with the Lord, desire, satisfaction, pleasure, as well as the relationship of happiness with the intellect and the objectivity of perception with pleasure, are involved in explaining the misalignment of happiness and pleasure. According to human characteristics and examples of pleasure, Ostad Motahari has made a meaningful distinction between happiness and pleasure. Therefore, not only is it not necessary that the ratio of pleasure and inclination to it is equal and on par with happiness itself, but also, first of all, there is a level of separation between them; Secondly, happiness is all about pleasure; Thirdly, happiness has a rational and expedient aspect; That is, the more happiness, the better, but the tendency towards some types of pleasure should be moderate and in the direction of expediency; not profit, and avoided indulging in some pleasures; Fourthly, true happiness has a rational and spiritual aspect. Therefore, immersing in some levels of pleasure (sensual, imaginary and illusory) and overdoing them, not only does not lead to happiness, but will also cause man to slip in this world and his misery in the hereafter.
