Resumen de Deciphering the symbols of Rumi’s Spiritual Couplets
Symbol is a means for recognition and presentation of subjective and objective extensions for fast retrieval of an object or a concept in human relations. Any change in linguistic symbols will result in the formation of such concepts as interpretation, allegory, symbol, metaphor and so on and so forth. If the total arrangement of the symbols is in a way that it brings about a covered narrative or text that contains various meanings we can describe that text as allegory. Then exemplification in Persian is something between allegory and irony. In the current research we will analyze the allegories of Rumi’s Spiritual Couplets (better known as Masnavi) based on the ideas of formalist researchers and an approach grounded in the modern morphology focusing on the theories of great scholars of Persian literature. This essay seeks to demonstrate that all parables of the Spiritual Couplets are related with Rumi’s Song of the Reed (Spiritual Couplets Exordium) and by deciphering these narratives we can near ourselves to the truth of Rumi’s worldview.
