        1 - The Analysis of Paradoxical Contents of Molavi Based on the Analytic Method of Jung

        We first try to clarify our meaning of “paradoxical”; then, we shall see in format of three basic samples that the paradoxical phrases used by Molavi turn to: rhetorical device to array a reduced speech, or is read in a contradictory format, or is reduced to a reasonable method to realize the words. Although these samples are useful guidelines in most cases, they are mostly to solve the problem of Paradox rather than its epistemology. According to the interpretation of Jung on Fundamental paradoxes in human existence, this article tries to provide a new perspective to analyze this issue in Molavi’s thought. This article is not a simultaneity and comparison of Molavi and Jung Mind-set; but it is the formulation of Jung Model for Paradox Analysis, and applying this sample in Molavi’s thought. According to this sample, mystic is encountered with an existential paradox in the deepest levels of “self” and considers this deep contradiction as the voucher of self growth and reach of knowledge.

        Death, which can somehow be linked with religion, is a major concern to all people. Mankind has nourished many grate dreams and thoughts and just these great desires have caused his flourishing and elevation ‚ and where his dreams and desires cannot be practicable‚ he realized them with makind legends and mythical characters. One of these wonderful dreams which mankind has brought in to being, is everlastingness or immortality that has been reflected either in nations legends‚ fables and mythical works ‚ such as Gilgamesh ‚ Achilles, invulnerability of Isfandyar , or in religious narratives like Khezr. The dream of everlastingness made the mankind find a way to realize it. The human’s masterpieces throughout the history reflected this dream in an artistic language. Mawlānā’s Mathnavi is one of these masterpieces, where Mawlānā being inspired with Quran and the prophetic sentences, believes that love is the base of being, and due to the essence common to both God and mankind, i.e. the Divine Spirit breathed in mankind, he can become God-like and make himself eternal. The present article studies “the desire to eternity” in Mawlānā’s views, referring to his source of inspiration, and relying on some verses from Mathnavi and Divan-e Shams. Manuscript profile

        3 - Three Views on Death in Persian Literature

        Death is the greatest incident in any person’s life and has constantly occupies man’s mind. In the written literary texts of Iran- both religious and non-religious; before and after Islam- most of the investigations and explorations and the concern of writers, poets and scholars was on finding a way for escaping death or overcoming the terror derived from it. The first literary prose and poetic works seriously concerned about this topic are from the mid third century after Islam; where we can notice and see such historical concern. That is of course if we chose to dismiss the ancient Iranian literature and the initial myths and epics belonging to that period. With a brief overlook, the attempts of the Iranian Post-Islam poets and writers for overcoming death or reducing its concern and obsessions can be limited to three major ideas; first, those who have admired it and welcomed it warmly. Rumi is the greatest representative of this group. Second, those who have regarded death with hatred and for overcoming it have sought to overcome it by ‘having fun in the moment’ (Carpe Diem) intending to reduce the terror and fright of death. Khayam is the pioneer and complete representative of this group. The third group is composed of those who have had a realistic attitude towards death; they have viewed life and death as two sides of a coin, tried to utilize the blessings of this world and pay service to mankind; while at the same time have provided their required supply for this life and afterlife. These have neither sacrificed life for death nor have sacrificed death for life. Sa’adi is the greatest representative of this group. Manuscript profile

        4 - Analyzing Container Schema in the Representation of Water and Fire in Rumi’s Poems Based on Cognitive-Cultural Linguistics

        The present paper aims at studying the relationship between language and cultural conceptualizations in Rumi’s poems. In order to do so, the cultural linguistics theory adapted for identifying the cultural-metaphorical system of Persian language as well as the historical and mythological model of "water and fire". Water and fire representations are quite frequent in the six chapters of Masnavi-e Ma’navi and in Divan-e Shams. Rumi has referred to the Classical elements in 1888 verses. He used water in 524 verses and fire in 574 verses. Water and fire as two opposing elements of the classical elements have two distinct characteristics in the natural world. But these two elements have supernatural features and depict a kind of long-standing contradiction of mind and love in literary concepts and metaphors, especially the mystical ones when occurred within one verse. The purpose of this study is to achieve an understanding of the cognition through the utilization of container schema of the words Del (heart), head, and eye. By investigating the functions of these schemata, a more accurate understanding of the individual and social characteristics of this poet would be obtained. The main achievements of this research are as follows: 1. In Persian literature, Del represents intuitive understanding, and the eye represents the apparent senses (five senses) and is the most frequent tool for the perception of reality. The frequency of Del schema in Rumi's poems compare to the eye schema somehow shows Rumi's intuitive personality. 2. Head in Persian is the container of concepts related to thought, but in the Rumi's poems, it is the container of the terms related to love. The concept of love as an entity in the head as the container has been expressed in different words in the poems of Rumi. Analyzing these words expresses passionate love and, to some extent, the love between friends in Rumi's emotional view. Manuscript profile

        5 - The Mythical Foundation of the Conceptual Metaphor of Death in Rumi's Masnavi

        According to the Islamic mysticism, the death is the main path to the truth recognition and connection to it.Death frees the soul from the cage of the body and gives meaning to life and defines his/her purpose; Hence, death is the fruit of life.This kind of thought is also in some myths. Rumi is one of the mystics who has used mythological ideas in drawing the image of death.The current paper explored the death metaphors in Rumi's Masnavi using the conceptual metaphor method and theory to figure out the relationship between Rumi's thought about death and mythical ideas as well as the role of mythical beliefs in defining the path of mystical conduct.We found that Rumi, like most mystics, has recognized and dealt (especially the death of immortality) in the context of the "journey back and up to the Principle / God / Truth" and through this, has opened the path of mystical conduct and has introduced death as a method of the truth recognition and mysticism attainment with shown its key role in the process of receiving divine knowledge and mystical conduct.The basis of this metaphor is the principle of the duality of soul and body in the belief in the duality of the ancient Iranians, which spread in the region of West Asia and North Africa and southern Europe until it emerged from Plato's "The theory of Forms".

        6 - Recognizing mystical and demonic states according to "Teresaof Avila" and "JalālaldīnRūmī"

        Human inner can have three states; psychological, mystical and satanic states. Cognition of these states, especially mystical and satanic states has been one of the important topics of mystical epistemology, and the mystics themselves have been awared in this matter. Teresaof Avila (1515-1582 AD) and JalālaldīnRūmī (604-672 AH) have more or less dealt with this matter in their works. Extracting and comparing the opinions of these two mystics can help more in recognition of the true and false mystical states.The study of this issue showed that both mystics consider the God as the main source of the true mystical state and the devil and the illusion of man as the source of false stateandemerge the consolations to human beings can be given withthemysticalstates; which are also divided into two categories: mystical and satanic. Apparently Teresa and Rumi both believe that genuine status can be realize to the future, but the false states remain in the realm of mental or expressive matters. Teresa's speeches are more precise and slight than Rumi in this feild.Both mystics suggest personal testing in some cases to distinguish true states from false states; That is, until the person himself hasn’t spent through such states, he can not recognize other cases.In this feild, Rumi mentions the authenticity recognition of a mystical state through another mystical state, which is similar to Teresa’s idea. According to both mystics, real statefrees the human from the captivity of the world, whereas the false statecaptureshuman into the world and carnal desires. Enjoying the criterions of the lack clarity of inductions, false, (locution) and their similarity to the dream, the availability of false state and far from the availability of mystical states and the possibility of verifying them in prayer and supplication can help in recognizing these states. Unexpected, the non-attribution of pure states to oneself and turning one's attention to God, reinforcing morality and religiosity are the indicators of mystical states. Manuscript profile

        Interpretation means returning something to its original state, the background of which is to be found in Greek hermeneutics. Hermeneutics is the theory of the act of understanding in its relation to the interpretation of texts. Mystics have paid much attention to the interpretation and content of the Qur'an. Rumi has also used interpretation in Masnavi.He looked at interpretation very broadly and did not consider interpretation specific to the Qur'an; For this reason, he has used interpretation on various topics. The research method in this article is descriptive and its purpose is to study the types of interpretations in the three books of Masnavi in terms of content and structure. The interpretations used in the three books of Masnavi based on the subject are: interpretation of Quranic verses and hadiths, interpretation of the stories of the prophets, interpretation of mystical, religious and jurisprudential, moral and philosophical issues.By examining the three books of Masnavi Manavi, 136 interpretations were extracted on these subjects, most of which consistes of interpretations of Quranic verses. Rumi has used various tricks to express interpretation; Interpretation from the language of the characters of the story, interpretation in the form of similes and metaphors, allegorical interpretation and causal interpretation are among them.

        Religious Pluralism is one of the concepts concerning philosophy of religion. It gives attention to subject of salvation and peaceful life among followers of different religions which is significance by many thinkers and it includes different viewpoints and recitals. Profound attention to pantheism (by Molavi) which is one of the fundamental pillars of his belief and ispiring morale of neligence and indulgence among his devotees have made some people call him pluralist. With this in mind , whether he deserve such calling or not , and if so , how does he consider religious pluralism , there will be such questions about Molavi. Present study will look over answers of these questions on the basis of Masnavi. So, in this study , meantime of definition of religious pluralism and presentation of its viewpoints , there will be come opinions of pluralists concerning legitimacy of pre-said religious and reflecies of these opinions in thoughts of Molavi. Restudy of thoughts of Molavi shows footprints of theory of religions pluralism , more or less by Molavi but he doesn't accept pluralism in the way we use it today and finally he just considers one religion rightful. The purpose of this study is that devotees of Molavi following his way in religious and insight subjects try to bring near religions and their followers together and there also create a kind of mental readiness for destroying religious and in-belief disputes.

        The nature is a term that refers to the essence and nature of the objects and phenomena of the universe and accordingly, the meaning of the nature of death, is its truth. Death in public use means the inexistence of this universe and the end of life. But writers and scholars in different domains of thought, especially in the domain of mysticism and Sufism, have, from their point of view, explained the nature and concept of death, based on their attitude of the post-death world. In addition,Molana has a significant position in the field of poetry and mysticism. The praise of death and the conceptual relationship between the nature of death and life in his intellectual geometry with another form, been specially considered by him. He is not the first and the last person to strive to explain the nature of his death and praise. But praising the death with passion-centered and foreignization of its nature and its image, in addition to emphasizing the meaningful hidden attractions in the philosophy of life in the form of artistic imaginings, has a high and unparalleled frequency in his works. In this essay we have tried through precision and research in his perspective and based on his valuable works, especially the valuable book of Mathnawi, the nature of death, the goals and motives of praise of death and the story of his passion for dealing with this mysterious incident in addition to enumerate his sources of thought in this field, We will analyze and research.

        Rumi has called for love with his joyous poems and is the leader of love in Persian literature. Love is a great force that permeates Rumi's soul. Wisdom and love are very important topics in Rumi's Masnavi. It is noteworthy to study Rumi's intellectual level of reason and love. The sages say that man's privilege is to reason, but mystics consider man's privilege to be love. In this article, an attempt is made to examine Rumi's view on reason and love and the relationship between the two. Rumi is not only irrational, but he has received the best praise from reason and his opposition to philosophical reason. But since this divine blessing has become the cause of discord among the people and instead of guiding and guiding them, it has become a tool for the destruction of society, it has been opposed to it, and in fact, its irrationality is a kind of social reaction and indicates It is a sublime system of thought that seeks to free the intellect from the shackles of the soul..

        At the beginning of the Masnavi, Rumi describes the mystical thirst for the separation of the spiritual soul from its origin with the sorrowful language of the reed, with the heartfelt melody and sincere sighs of the reed. This letter is an excerpt from the six books of the spiritual Masnavi and also an explicit proof of all the poems of this literary and mystical treasure, which paints a picture of separation and mourning from the very beginning. The point to be considered is the meaning of the words "anecdote" and "complaint" in the first verse of Masnavi, which has been described by several commentators and each of them has had a specific interpretation of it. This article intends to evaluate and critique some of the meanings proposed by a number of commentators by descriptive-analytical method and in proving the alleged meanings and concepts, the subject is divided into two axes: the vertical context of the letter and the proportional and contradictory context of the word. Discuss and analyze with mystical houses, valleys and authorities. The results of the research indicate that the mystical topics in any literary work, including the spiritual Masnavi, are so extensive and rich in content that everyone can understand it to the best of their knowledge. The concept of "complaint" in the letter is not a protest complaint expressed by some commentators, but "disgust" of separation, "description of the pain of longing" and "lamentation" and romantic prayers that Rumi in the vertical axis of its poetry. Has decrypted. Manuscript profile

        Mystical literature, especially Rumi, has taken its soul and attraction from faith and knowledge. The humanistic spirit of literature is the spirit of faith and mysticism. Masnavi of this literary masterpiece is full of the spirit of faith and awareness. The content and lip of our mystical literature originates from faith and awareness. It can lead man to a single truth. What kind of science does Rumi consider as a way forward and which one does he prefer to the other in relation to science and faith? Rumi has always made a close connection between science and faith and considers faith as a great blessing and the light that increases man's insight and the wise man is a light to guide him who understands the truth by believing in God. He believes that science and faith should be a ladder for the spiritual excellence of man and man should study the lessons of knowledge and divine love along with science and seek resurrection that will lead him to moral and spiritual stability.

        The word narcissism was first used by Freud. Of course, others, before Freud, used it in the sense of selfishness and humiliation to describe the psychological attitude in clinical psychology. This personality disorder often leads to projection. Projection is one of the psychological mechanisms through which one can understand the conscience and inside of human beings and gain a relative knowledge of their personality. Mawlana Jalaluddin Mohammad Balkhi (Rumi) in his works, especially in Masnavi, has paid attention to the psychological aspect of human behavior. This study tries to analyze narcissism and projection as one of the new concepts of psychology in the story of the Hunting and lion of Masnavi, with a descriptive-analytical approach and using library resources. The findings show that Rumi considers narcissistic personality to be the general problem of humanity and wants to find a solution to it. The whole of Masnavi is a struggle against narcissism and pride. In the story of the lion meets himself and comes to his truth. In fact, the rabbit did not kill the lion, the lion's anger and narcissism and his lack of trust in God caused his negligence and eventual destruction. The issue of meeting in Rumi's language is sometimes expressed with interpretations and signs such as water, spring, stream, face, seeing one's reflection in water, etc., which evokes the myth of Narcissus in the world of myth.

        The aim of this research is to compare philosophical thinking components in the humorous stories of the ancient and contemporary Persian literature. In order to achieve this goal, a story from Masnavi and a story from Tanz va Shukhtabei Mulla Nasreddin were selected and analyzed. The criterion of comparison was Lipman's view about philosophical thinking components. These components were chozen from Lipman's works and were divided into three categories of critical, creative and caring thinking. In the second part, by using the deductive method and based on the theoretical framework provided in the first part, components of philosophical thinking were identified and analyzed in the the stories. The findings show that the selected story from Masnavi (The Fox and the Donkey in front of the Lion) is richer in the aspect of critical thinking and the two components of creative and caring thinking, being at the margin, make the story more powerful. As for the selected story of Tanz va Shukhtabei Molla Nasreddin (Bozorge Shahr), it is rich with regard to the creative and caring thinking. It provides a suitable platform for philosophical thinking because of the components of independence, innovation, testing, amazement, imagination, active and normative thinking. So, the two stories because of the components of philosophical thinking, are suitable for preparing this kind of thinking and they can be used in community of inquiry. Manuscript profile

        Many Persian literary narratives have their origin in the past of Persian literature, the sources of which have been identified in contemporary area. In the present study, the common anecdotes of Sanai's Hadiqat and Rumi's Mathnawi have been investigated through library method by study of books, articles and related researches, text analysis and through comparative approach so that the anecdotes with a common theme and different structure can be compared and the differences highlighted. According to studies, the use of storytelling techniques in Rumi's anecdotes is more visible, because his use of superstructure elements of the story, especially perspective, character and dialogue is much more, and in contrast, the element of time and place has been rarely used; while in Hadiqat, these two elements are highly used. One of the main manipulation of Rumi in references is making dynamic the static characters as well as adding various types of dialogue and different characters. Manuscript profile

        Deputy of Transportation and Traffic of Tehran Municipal Region 12 has presented a plan to displace the BRT line from the south side of Mowlavi Street to the middle in order to increase safety and organize public transportation. This paper aims to study the social and cultural impacts of this intervention on the social life of Mowlavi Street in accordance with the stakeholders’ needs, situations, and opinions. The main methodology of this research is based on qualitative approach and phenomenological method using in-depth interview and focus group techniques. Accordingly, relying on the theoretical framework of livability. several concepts such as sustainability, sustainable transportation, quality of life and safety have been brought forth. The findings indicate that the displacement of Mowlavi BRT line can increase street safety; however, this requires a high level of organizational cooperation of Traffic Police on this street. On the other hand, one-way to two-way street conversion which is also aligned with the local residents’ and businesses’ social and economic benefits in Harandi and Takhti neighborhoods, can increase the transportation demand for Mowlavi Street.

        <p>The seven stages of mysticism are among the most important and thought-provoking topics in mystical cirrhosis. Examining and understanding their meaning and concept, the seeker and the path of the truth helps to follow this path with more awareness. Provide mystics and Sufis. Also, clarifying the concepts of each of these officials according to the views of Attar and Rumi and expressing how these concepts are used in mystical and moral stories are two other goals of this research. Showed that in some cases the views of Attar and Rumi are different. Sufis and mystics each have opposing views on the journey to God and meeting God. What arose at the beginning of the official emergence of Western-influenced Sufism in Iran and its sphere of ritual and linguistic influence until it reached Rumi and Attar, although beautiful in appearance and constantly in conflict with the Shari'a, is an amalgam of philosophical views. Greek and eclectic were other ideas, forming parallel and sometimes contradictory currents, which played a significant role in the continuation of Sufism..</p> Manuscript profile
