Analysis and investigation of the rite of Initiation from myth to mysticism based on the opinion of Mircha Eliade (Case study: Masnavis of Attar and Masnavis of Rumi)

Mythological criticism is a kind of literary work analysis that evaluates the text with regard to mythological issues. One of the ancient mythological rites and the ritual that was first officially proposed by Mir Chaaliade is the rite or ritual of Initiation (passing). Since our mystical literature is based on religious experiences and many religious experiences have the authority of rituals in their infrastructure, we can see the traces of ritual rituals of Initiation in many actions and behavior of Sufis. The aim of the present essay is to analyze Attar"s Masnavis and Rumi"s Masnavis from a mythological point of view based on the rites of passage and the ritual of Initiation.

The research method in this study is descriptive-analytical based on library studies and sand mining method, and statistical frequency is also provided in order to obtain accurate results. The statistical population of the research is Attar"s Masnavis and Rumi"s Masnavis.

The transition from the conscious to the unconscious of the seeker and reaching survival after death and during the stages of mysticism, has many similarities to the ritual rites of Initiation and transition in mythology from Mircha Eliade"s point of view.

Based on the triple pattern that Mircha Eliade describes in the rites of passage and rites of Initiation, the three stages of transition, transition and rebirth can be observed in Islamic mysticism, especially in Attar"s Masnavis and Rumi"s Masnavis. The necessity and attention to the holy place for the cultivation of the soul and worship, avoiding worldliness and self-worship, the need to pay attention to the old, the manners of conduct and self-mortality and the survival of God according to the three stages mentioned in Eliade"s view, the ability to adapt to the ceremonies and rites of Initiation in It has mysticism.
