Dissertation to receive Master's degree (M.A)

Abstract

Mulan's mysticism is the highest level of thought and spiritual and moral excellence, which is achieved through struggle and conduct, gaining true knowledge, love for the truth, and following perfect men, prophets, and divine saints. He believed in the unity of existence through Fana-fi-Allah and Baqaba-Allah, not like a drop in the sea or the transformation of a seed into a plant. It is obvious that walking the steps and degrees of human perfection until reaching the level of connection and standing with God is not possible except with inner sincerity and purity. Truthfulness is one of the attributes of the Almighty. God himself, in confirming the prophethood and religion of the prophets, mentions the word truth before the title of their prophecy, and this shows that the truthfulness of the prophets is prior to their prophethood, and in other words, God has chosen them to the prophethood through their inner truth. God's prophets have reached immortality because of this inner honesty and the truth and correctness of their path. A look at the divine verses in the Holy Quran as well as the holy books of other prophets confirms this claim. In the school of mysticism, truthfulness and inner purity are the first steps of the ladder of human perfection and survival and immortality. Certainly, if the truth is not manifested in a person's existence, it is impossible to walk the rest of the way. In Rumi's school of mysticism, truthfulness with its various manifestations, at all levels of research, takes a person's hand and takes him from the soil to the heavens and from the earth to the earth; and if we look carefully, even beyond the heavens. In this path, the honest seeker and true lover of the truth, through sincerity and inner purity and after going through the stages and levels of love, pain, poverty and need, seeking, austerity combined with refining the soul and attaining divine knowledge through voluntary death and finally the annihilation of the exterior and interior, reaches the position of God's presence and immortality in the truth. In this thesis, the problem of the immortality of truth and truth in the field of mysticism has been investigated from the perspective of Rumi in his Masnavi book. In addition to the introduction, this thesis consists of four chapters. In the first chapter, under the title of "Generalities", the main questions, statement of the problem, background, hypotheses, research objectives, methodology and statistical community have been discussed. The second chapter includes the biography and works of Maulana Jalaluddin Mohammad Balkhi. In the third chapter, the theoretical foundations of the research are discussed in ten entries in connection with the subject of the thesis. The fourth chapter is devoted to the topic of truthfulness from Rumi's point of view and the stages and stages that lead to the immortality of truth and righteousness. 

Key words:

Maulana, Masnavi, immortality, truth (truth and correctness), love, pain, desire, red death, second birth, annihilation in God and survival of God.

Introduction

God created the universe based on truth has established; Because it is true. All the attributes of the right are his essence, for this reason, there is no distinction between the attributes of the right; Therefore, being pure and honest are attributes that are gathered in one point in the divine nature and the existence of truth. It is on this basis that we say that God is truthful; Because he is "obligatory for the existence of all things and obligatory for the existence of all aspects". And since the creation started with the word "Koun", then the word "Koun" itself is a manifestation of honesty. Because this word originates from the divine essence. Therefore, God's being a creator is related to his truthfulness.

According to the explanation of the noble verse, "And the words of your Lord are true and fair, and they do not change His words." Al-Aleemo[1] "The entire Holy Quran is summarized in two words "truth" and "justice". The interesting and noteworthy point is that God has prioritized the word "truth" over the word "justice"; And this shows that all the propositions of existence can be placed under the word "honesty", as honesty was the basis of the position of prophethood of divine prophets. In the Holy Qur'an, the word "Sadiq", which is derived from the root of "Sadaq", appears three times before the word "Nabi'ah", and this indicates the intrinsic value of this word in our religious and cognitive worldview. (Farahmand, 2012: oral interpretations).

Mysticism, in the eyes of those experts who trust in taste and illumination rather than rational arguments and arguments, is a method of direct knowledge and knowledge of God based on discovery and intuition of the heart, and in fact, it is a knowledge based on spiritual and indescribable states that man achieves a direct connection with pure existence (truth). This state is understandable for those who have experienced it themselves, just as if someone has not been in love, they will not understand the turbulent and turbulent state of love, and in other words, "do not understand the raw state of the cooked state". A two-way relationship that connects God and man. In this regard, man is generally freed from the limitations and constraints that separate him from God and are actually the veils of the path of connection and union with the truth. For this purpose, a person gives up everything he owns and turns to poverty and austerity and other things. gives body Leaving worldly pleasures becomes a way to connect to the truth; But the necessity of this connection and union is the acquisition of knowledge that cannot be "found" on the back of any book or notebook, or in the space of any school or school, but rather "knowledge that has its origin in the head". Achieving this knowledge is conditional upon the discovery and illumination of the heart and interior through love combined with honesty and truth. In this way, the soul of a person who longs to connect to his origin, through the elimination of his illusory and shadowy existence and annihilation in the truth, and in this way, "love is his leader". For this purpose, a perfect guide and mentor is necessary to train and guide the seeker. In this way, the follower of the path of truth with honesty and sincerity, with soul-sucking austerities and self-calculation, climbs the steps of perfection one by one, and by annihilating himself and everything that is not true, he achieves immortality and survival in the truth. In many places in Masnavi, Maulana has mentioned the shadowy existence of the beings of the world. According to his belief, man has an origin and principle, which in this world of multitudes and determinations - all of which are from the same principle that is the source of unity and unity - has been separated from it, and all his effort and effort is to return to his principle once again. In the opening verses of the Masnavi, Rumi says this from his speechless tongue and his soulful tail. This "seeking connection is nothing but seeking the original" and the only way to achieve it is through the Sharia and passing through the tariqat.

Maulana He does not consider the lip and extract of Sharia as true love. He considers love as the reason for the cultivation of the heart and the most effective factor in refining the soul. He considers love combined with sincerity and inner purity as the most important means for the ascension of the soul and reaching the goal of the path of the Ahl al-Tariqat, which is the connection to the truth and survival in his essence. Rumi is of the opinion that sincerity and inner purity are the basis for the emergence and presence of truth in the hearts of seekers. According to him, the truth is the nothingness of one's illusory existence. From this point of view, the true existence against the illusory existence is a huge gift from the truth to his honest and pure servants. I tremble and wander;
