"Self-oblivion" in the Ground of "Self-Alienation" with an Emphasis on Rumi's Viewpoint
Author(s):
Abstract:
With a language of poem, allegory and elegant sentences, Rumi attempts to explore meaning and its causes, consequences and finally some solutions for its remedy in his own works. For him, human has a divine identity from which he has been cast away because of descent and has been involved in self-oblivion. What makes this initial mandatory oblivion more severe is dependence and association with materials as well as the influence of animalistic natural forces that gradually make darkness to predominate human and keep him away from pure and bright world. For this, human feels to be tormented and tortured like a confined bird within himself, making him to complain and yearn to get back to his main homeland. This evolution in Rumi’s works could be depicted in the arc of descent and ascent. For Rumi, two groups of internal and external factors are the causes of lack of self-recognition. From Rumi’s viewpoint, the counterpoints of the reasons of self-oblivion are the ways which lead to self-discovery and overcoming self-oblivion. In short, the way of its treatment is only finding the original home and returning to it and consequently being out of ignorance.
