Abstract :

People try to use normal speeches and writings in order to express their meanings, but the normal language is not able to induce mental meanings and beyond, thus by elevating the lingual capacity they evade normality and make use of applying symbols. Accordingly, Rumi, a religious poet and intellectual, has subject matters in his mind that induces them through the eloquent mechanism of symbolism onto the audience, and since the Koranic themes flowed in the unconscious mind of Rumi, in which the variety of words and meanings Rumi used regarding traditions and the Koran represented his Islamic knowledge, therefore, symbols have consecutively maintained their religious background whereby in most cases to infer the implicit layers of a symbol one should take it into account its religious deep structure. The result of the studies shows that Rumi has utilized the Koranic predicates and traditions to process his Islamic and mystical patterns including refinement of soul, introspection, resurrection, and so on, which are composed of various layers of mental and lingual by poet in a form of concentric circles revolving around a human axis.
