Analysis of mystical language characteristics in Ahmad_E_Ghazali’s Savaneh-al-Oshagh
Keywords:
ahmad ghazali, mystic language, the personal characteristics of ahmad's mysticism, loveAbstract
Mystics use a special kind of language to convey their thoughts, circumstances (haal) and experiences. This language is exclusive for mystics and has its own distinctive words and expressions. While there are numerous categorizations, mystic language is divided into the two broad types of literal language and symbolic language. The literal language is employed to delineate the thoughts and concepts surrounding mysticism, while the symbolic language is for unfolding the genuine experiences of mystics. In principle, symbolic language is not educational. Ahmad ghazali, the passionate mystic of khorasan, has written an innovative book on love and states which is called sawāneh. He has employed exceptional language to document his mystic receptions. The present study aims at analyzing the mystic language of khajeh ahmad in sawāneh
