Public culture and language have conventional and intersecting boundaries with formal literature, and the interaction between these two fields has always existed in our literary history. However, such interaction has been more salient in some intellectual trends and genres. One genre of prose that is deeply linked to the public language and culture is theosophists’ verbal speech, part of which is known as “Ma’arif”. The influence that the public language and culture has on these texts is not just limited to the aesthetic use of a few elements or the speakers’ lived culture.  Rather, it has a strong association with the substructure and superstructure of these works. The present research is an analytic-description study aimed at a better perception and identification of the interaction between formal and public literature in the area of mystical literature through analyzing three works of Baha valad Ma’arif, Burhan al-Din Muhaqqiq Tirmidhi Ma’arif, and Sultan Walad Ma’arif. Scrutiny into the text lines interwoven into the areas of public culture and language and analysis of the ground and elements of created pictures revealed precious and perhaps forgotten details about public language and culture and its development through time.  Furthermore, such analysis has been useful to understand these texts and to recognize the structure of their speakers’ thought and culture, besides disclosing their anthropological tendencies.

The present article deals with the sayings of Baha al-din Valad written in his famous journal, entitled Maaref which has been published in 13333 by the efforts of Professor Fourouzanfar.  It is an attempt to make a comparison between the characteristics of thebeloved in the words of BahaValad with what Moulana has drawn of his beloved and master Shams Tabrizi in his Ghazaliat. Through this comparison and assessment, the writer seeks similarities in line of thought of the father and the son and also reveals point of departure in their thoughts.
