Mysticism and its enduring teachings in the form of opinions, situations and sayings of the people of knowledge and what is from historyIts development is imprinted on the page of literary works, it has such a scope that exploring all its aspectsIt is an endless thing for researchers. It has been at least a century and a half that, in addition to the sympathetic and simultaneous researchers of these works, Orientalists curious about this type of knowledge have also studied the corners of the Iranian-Islamic mysticism of the Eastern world through extensive research and by comparing and comparing its information with the heritage The intellectuals of their culture and civilization have revealed the spiritual commonalities between religions and humanity. Some of these valuable researches have been translated into Persian, Arabic or both languages, but the other part, which is still in the original language and the general researchers are unaware of it, needs critical reviews and analysis and adaptation to The importance of those results and findings should be put to the test of the research of new researchers. The magazine "Esoteric Research in Literature" has provided an opportunity for those works (articles) that have not been translated yet, to facilitate the process of collaboration in domestic and foreign researches by publishing their important translations.

Inquiring about the true meaning of life and making an attempt to find an answer to it has been one of the mental concerns for man so far. A number of researchers and scholars from different fields have investigated its nature and tried their best to come up with an answer to it. The Islamic-Iranian mysticism is one of the fields that has paid special attention to life, its aims, and the ways to achieve them. Therefore, it can answer a wide range of questions that we face every day. This research with descriptive-analytical approach aims to focus on the true meaning of life from Abu Sa’id Abul-Khayr’s viewpoint and investigate the book Asrar al-Tawhid fi Maghamat al-Sheikh Abusa'id to find out a response to the essence of life and the meaningful life components in this great Sufi mystic’s belief. According to the findings of the present study, perspectival, creative, and experiential values that Frankle considers as the ways of finding meaning are crystallized in the ideas and deeds of Abu Saeed Abu Alkheir. He displays the perspectival values in his Asrar Al Tuhid through severe austerity, abandoning worldly attachments, self-mortification, and achieving freedom via renouncing self-centeredness. Similarly, Abu Saeed demonstrates creative values through his cultivating an intense passion for poetry, establishing romantic mysticism, believing in joy, and equating Sama with kind of worship. Finally, he represents reveals the experiential values through loving God and humans, thinking about the plight of human existence, being generous, sacrificing, serving humans, and tolerance.

The truth of love, as the highest existential truth, is one of the most fundamental issues of mysticism that many mystics have written in this field. Ahmad al-Ghazali and Najmuddin Razi are two mystics (fifth and seventh centuries) who have discussed very influential issues in the field of mystical love.The results of this study indicate that Al-Ghazali and Razi believe that the true representative is created only through love and according to the theory of the unity of existence, all manifestations of existence are a reflection of the form of truth. The lover loves all these manifestations and this romantic look is the reason why the whole universe is beautiful. According to these two mystics, before entering the world, man was a trustee of the essence of love, and both mystics, quoting the verse "Yahbham and Yahbunah", know the beginning of lovemaking from God and the intellect in the path of love and the seeker to the imperfect god. And they know poorly.Mirror and mirror-holding is another issue that has been raised in Mursad al-Abbad and Ghazali's works, which is like a mirror in which the mystic Jamal Hagh looks at the beautiful and conscious heart, and the lover can find his perfection of beauty only in the mirror of love and desire. The divisibility of love is another material that is indirectly extracted in Mursad al-Abbad and Ghazali's works, and the existing material indicates the belief of these two mystics in dividing love into different types.

The high position of Rumi and Shams in mystical literature has led to the formation of various narratives about their lives and thoughts,, they help us understand their biography. At the same time, the multiplicity and variety of narratives and the complexity of these two characters make it difficult to reach reality . In this research by reviewing historical sources especially by using the information contained in Shams's Maghalat and comparing these narrations we try to answer these questions in a descriptive-analytical manner: Was the meeting between Shams and Rumi a coincidence? What facts can be found about these two characters from Shams's first conversation with Rumi? What was the effect of this meeting on Shams himself? How does Shams view his relationship with Rumi? The result of this research showed that Shams's view of their first meeting and also his view of Rumi and the type of relationship with him is different from the descriptions in the memoirs, just as Shams's face in the Maghalat differs from his mythical and celestial face in the memoirs and even poems of Rumi.Shams's Maghalat lifts the face of Rumi from the obedient and obedient follower to the level of leader of leader ,Also it transforms the face of Shams from an extraterrestrial man to an terrestrial face.

AbstractThe present study expresses the common views of Rumi and Ibn Arabi on the levels of Prophet Moses (AS) in the field of Islamic mysticism. Ibn Arabi and Rumi have many common views and thoughts about this divine prophet, and the reason for this is their common intellectual foundations, especially the Holy Quran, as the main source and source of knowledge, and then Islamic hadiths and teachings and statements of previous mystics. Therefore, both mystics have provided comprehensive definitions regarding the position of Moses in the system of creation. In this article, with a descriptive-analytical method, expressing the basics of Rumi and Ibn Arabi's thoughts about the hierarchy and existence of Moses, with similar allegories by him with five axes: A: The sincerity and transcendence of Prophet Moses, B: The order of completion, C: The murder of the children of Israel by the order of Pharaoh, D: The controversy and victory of the miracles of Moses over the magic of Pharaoh, p: The murder of the children of Israel.

Since the language of mysticism is mysterious and Cryptic, the mystical speech in specific spiritual cases is, manifested as Shitahit in expressing its observations and findings. Therefore, paradoxes have a close relationship with the divine mysteries in a way that it can reflect private thoughts of a Sufi mystic in higher mystical stags. In this arena, Attar Neyshaboori is a mystical poet whose school has devoted a special section of his Ghazals to these Shitahit in such a way that we can find the foundation of his mystical thoughts in the analysis of his Ghazals Shitahit. This article aims at analyzing the Shitahit in Attar Neyshaboori’s Divan of Ghazals. It also tries to analyze the main verses of Attar's Divan in which the concept of “Shitahit” is hidden by inductive-analytic method. So, in this way, the analytical philosophy of Attar’s views on Shitahit based on its construing motif and the importance of his views in this regard can be explained and clarified to see to what extent and in what way the “Shitahit” have infiltrated into Attar Neyshaboori’s Divan of Ghazals and odes.

تکامل و پیشرفت معنوی که عرفا از آن به سیر و سلوک تعبیر میکنند، امری انتزاعی است. بر اساس نظریّات علوم شناختی، آنچه امکان بیان این تجارب را فراهم میکند، استفاده از طرحوارههای تصویری است. طرحوارۀ حرکتی یکی از مهمترین طرحواره های سیر و سلوک است. این پژوهش سعی دارد نحوۀ استفادۀ سنایی و قاضی از این طرحواره را بررسی و تحلیل کند. روش این پژوهش توصیفی- تحلیلی است. واحد تحلیل، بیت و بندهایی در دو اثر است که طرحوارۀ حرکتی دارند و حدود پژوهش ما کل تمهیدات و حدیقهالحقیقه را در برمیگیرد. طرحوارهها تا حد زیادی بنیادین هستند؛ امّا تفاوت در تجارب زیسته و جهانبینی عرفا با سایر مکاتب باعث تمایز این گروه با سایر مکتبهای فکری میشود. سنایی و عینالقضات توجّه بسیاری به مقصد دارند و ارزش پدیدهها را با توجّه به نقش کارکردی آنها در وصال به خداوند میبیند. این توجّه را با ذکر شواهد در تمهیدات و حدیقه بررسی کردهایم؛ از سوی دیگر تفاوت جزئیتر در جهانبینی دو عارف باعث شدهاست، سنایی پیشرفت معنوی را با تجربه بدنمند حرکت صعودی ببیند و قاضی آن را حرکت دایرهوار. قائل شدن به خرده مقصدها تجلّی دیگری از تجارب بدنمند است. در این زمینه نیز بین دو عارف تفاوتهایی وجود دارد.

There are several explanations in Persian, Arabic and Turkish about the lyric with the first verse " دوش وقت صبحدم در چرخ پایان یافتم/ در میان دانة خشخاش سندان یافتم" attributed to Jalaluddin Rumi. The most detailed known explanation was probably written in Arabic by Yusuf ibn Haj Hamza Malati in the city of Caesarea and presented to the Ottoman Sultan Salim I. There is a few information about this expositor; Except that he was a Sufi from the Kobraviyeh dynasty who lived in the second half of the ninth century and the first half of the tenth century AH and probably wrote his work between the years 918-926 AH. His sheikh, Seyyed Obaidullah Shirazi Tostari, is also one of the unknown elders who had a monastery and disciples in Caesarea.The only known manuscript of this explanation, entitled “Sharh Ghazal Mullah Jalaluddin”, No. 1859, is preserved in the Hagia Sophia Library in Istanbul. Due to the fact that the language of the text is Arabic, it has received no attention in Rumi's research and mysticism. In this article, while introducing Yusuf Ibn Hamza Malati, the aspects of importance and content of his description are explained. This description has been written with reference to various sources due to the symbolism of the words and also the difference in the recording of the words in the versions. One of the interesting points in this book is the full marking of the words in the Arabic manner.

Mystical experience, as a type of religious experience, has characteristics that each of the religious philosophers and mystics have listed characteristics according to their point of view. Walter Stacey is one of these renowned scholars who in the book Mysticism and Philosophy has seven basic characteristics including monotheistic vision or unifying consciousness, timelessness-impossibility, sense of objectivity or reality, sense of peace and tranquility, sense of holiness and sanctity and divinity, Has mentioned paradoxes, and inexpressibility for mystical experience. Divan-e Shams contains manifestations of Rumi's mystical experiences, including objective and subjective experiences. Rumi's objective experiences have manifested themselves in the form of mystical fables, mystical springs, transformations, mystical epics, and wonderful encounters In her psychic experiences, in which God really speaks in the language of Rumi, categories such as pride and warning, questioning and reproach, the need to recognize oneself, and enthusiasm and forgiveness can be seen. Analysis and explanation of the sonnets of each category requires knowledge of the theoretical foundations of mysticism, attention to the structure and meaning of the sonnet, as well as mastery of the poet's mental system. In this research, one of Rumi's mystical fables has been studied. In this narration, Rumi has used the code "thief" to express the manifestations of one of his objective experiences. The present study, while deciphering this poem using other lyric poems of Divan-e Shams, has discussed all the features considered by Stacey for mystical experience.

Reader-oriented theories of literary criticism maintain that meaning is not something fixed in the mind of the author or hidden in the text; rather, meaning is shaped when the reader interacts with the text. This article draws on aesthetics of reception by The Jauss and Iser to study seven select commentaries on the Masnavi. More specifically, an aesthetic analysis was conducted on The Song of the Reed, as well as three stories from the first book of Masnavi (The King and the Maid; The Lion and the Prey; The Jewish King). The main aim was to find out what components of the ‘horizon of expectation’ influenced the various commentators’ opinions about the main themes of these stories. Using a descriptive-analytical method, 200 select verses were studied, and it was found that each commentator had created a meaning for The Masnavi verses influenced by his horizon of social and literary expectation.
