Abstract (2. Language):
The works of Moulavi, especially his Mathnavi and the Gazals of
Shams , are the sole indisputable documents through which one can draw
the frame and the overall structure of his love-oriented mysticism and
world-vision. God, man, love, and the universe and their love-bond are
considered to be Moulavi's the most important components of thought and
the main obsession.
These works, especially his Mathnavi, testify his wide knowledge,
information, and meditation on religious sciences, mystic learning and
issues on humanity the basic materials of which had certainly been
prepared before his being acquainted with Shams. However, what
distinguishes Moulavi's character, works, world-vision, and his specific
love-oriented mysticism from the mystical achievements before him is the
great development in his character, manner, and insight gained after his
acquaintance with Shams. It gave a new perspective to his perception,
knowledge, and mind. Moreover, it breathed fresh life into the body of his
opinions and learning.
God, man and the universe and their love-bond are considered to
be Moulavi's the most important components of thought and the main
obsession.The description of God in Moulavi's poetry, which totally
corresponds with his optimistic hopeful states of mind and feelings, is the
Perfect Compassion and the Absolute Grace.
The prophets, too, are the harbingers of the heavenly banquet and
desire able. Their mission and law constitute happiness, pleasure, and life.
Man can meet God through following the prophets and also by the
communion of the soul with Him finding the invisible secrets and the
truth. It is not for only weakness and despair but for close and friendly
relationship that gets His anger also loveable, opens the doors of
manifesting His Majesty and Beauty and introduce soul of the man with
truths.
The universe is the mirror manifesting God's Majesty and Beauty.
A man endowed with vision, wherever he looks, sees God with all and in
all.
