Maryam Zarif, Mahdi Nikmanesh, Volume 32, Issue 97 (1-2025)
Abstract
Rather than expressing his feelings in poetry, Bidel uses poetry to express his thoughts. This rapid flow of thought is evident in his views of natural phenomena and descriptions of the elements of nature. Since his mind is filled with mystical meanings and concepts, everything he looks at takes on the color and fragrance of mysticism and flows through his tongue. He considers art to include perfection and moral virtues and with its help, he has tried to express the capabilities of man and the nature around him. From a descriptive and analytical perspective, this research addresses the symbolism of mountain in Bidel’s masnavi of Tūr-e-Marefat (or Mountain of Knowledge) and investigates the images in which the natural element of the mountain is artistically connected with mystical concepts and meanings. First, the images were identified and classified, then the significance of the ‘mountain’ icon was highlighted and its mystical hidden meanings were explained. The findings showed that the concepts hidden in the symbols of water, fire, and earth, in a coherent set, have a mystical transcendental path from the lowest level to the highest position in Bidel’s perspective, and these elements have a conceptual relationship with the ‘mountain’.
