Monastery customs and its symbols from Rumi's point of view in lyric poems

 The great mystics each have their own language and pictorial and symbolic system. Those who have had pure personal experiences have their own personal images and interpretations. Rumi has given a secret meaning to the words of everything and everyone, according to the association of meanings that took place in his mind. The scope of Rumi's cryptography includes animals, plants, constellations, myths, prophets, etc.; Therefore, the investigation of all aspects of cryptography and mystical terms in Rumi's Ghazals requires extensive research. In the present research, monastic symbols in Rumi's Ghazals have been investigated. This research seeks to answer the question: How are monastic customs and symbols reflected in Molavi's poetry? The results show that Rumi has used a variety of words and terms in creating new symbolic meanings. The most important result of the present research is that, due to Rumi's creativity in cryptography, Rumi's sonnets cannot be interpreted according to the mystical terms found in Sufi books; Because the mystical terms used show the conscious mind of the writers who have their own intellectual style. Some of the customs and traditions that have found symbolic meaning in Diwan Shams are: pir, food, farashi, sama, etc. The purpose of this research is to reflect monastic symbols in Diwan Shams Molavi. The research method is documentary and library, and text analysis is obtained through evidence.
