AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF MYSTICAL VISION OF RUMI


Amir ZADNEMAT
Abstract

Rumi is considered as one of the pillars of Iran's culture. Understanding the importance of the place of Rumi is directly related to the understanding his views. Rumi is a different man whose worldview is distinguished from philosophy, logic and science, because he is after neither ratiocination nor rational argument or sensory experiences. Then, his difference with others causes Rumi's infinite majesty to be revealed and this infinity can be just contained in Rumi's mysticism which understands the mysteries of universe beyond philosophy and science. Rumi struggles to decode these mysteries not with reason rather with love. Then, no one can understand Rumi's perspective of life based on logic, philosophy and science. In other words, Rumi can only be known based on mystical enthusiasm and mood. Rumi has founded his own theology based on an ontological system whose very foundation is existence. Ontological understanding of Rumi, in turn, paves the ground for understanding his reflections on self-knowledge. What surges in the works of Rumi is the freshness of his words. You never get bored of reading the works of Rumi and this is due to the hidden vision in his works. This vision includes his intuitive vision of existence which is managed to influence the world and attract people with different cultures.
