The Connection Between Reason and Love in Enriching Life , in Rumi's Masnavi

However, Rumi in response to the question "What is the meaning of life?" Does not speak explicitly, In practice, everything that is said in Masnavi deals with life and its meaning in some way. Because Masnavi has a lost audience from the beginning to the end, Who feels the emptiness of meaning in his life; But the preoccupations of material life have blocked his entry into the spiritual life. Because everyone gives meaning to life in a special way, Rumi wants to help the audience find these components by presenting a picture of the components of his meaningful life. But, of course, it is not easy to find the signs in the glorious, deep and extensive life of Rumi, according to the disturbed order of Masnavi. But since Rumi's worldview is based on the two sources of wisdom and love, He considers these two as decisive categories in giving direction to the life of every human being. The present article begins with the assumption that the intellect, love, and gentleness of each, as two reciprocal and interacting categories that are the main components of meaningful life, have the ability to first determine any meaning that is ultimately emotional or intellectual. , Pass through their filter and secondly have the capacity to interpret any mutual thought with their help. This article, whose data have been qualitatively analyzed and described, has been written with the aim of showing the interconnectedness of reason and love as the two main components of human material and spiritual life. The most important achievement of this research is that the life of every human being can only be meaningful in the connection between reason and love.
