The role of mystical allusions in the Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi (based on the narrative allegories of books 4, 5 and 6)

In Masnavi, Rumi has repeatedly tried to enlighten the minds of his audience to epistemological issues with mystical allusions, and by mentioning allegory and storytelling, he has raised the perceptual level of the companions and companions of Masnavi. By delving into the narrative allegories of Masnavi, one can find and hide mystical hints that their reflection and semantic expansion at the narrative levels, ultimately paves the way for unity and oneness in Masnavi. This unifying attitude and effect on mystical allusions has escaped the scrutiny of many scholars and narrators. This research has been written by library and descriptive study method and tries to show the role of Rumi's mystical allusions in the processing of narrative allegories based on the narratives of the fourth, fifth and sixth books of the spiritual Masnavi. In this research, by deepening and using the narrative allegories of Masnavi, the relationship between superstructure and depth of allegories as well as the method of processing mystical materials in four types (allusions, themes, examples and internal stories) was revealed. Finally, the role of mystical allusions in two levels of narrative allegory (superstructure and deep construction) entitled "symbol", "guidebook" and also the semantic connection between narrative levels were examined. Familiarity with the method of processing mystical material and examining the semantic link at narrative levels is one of the research results of the present article. This research can be considered as a step towards understanding the structure and content of Masnavi narrative allegories.
