        In the works of Muslim mystics, mirror has a wide presence. According to historical documents, mirror has been used symbolically by Imam Alī ibn Mūsā al-Rezā, for first time to explain mystical monotheism. In prose and verse works of Muslim mystics, it is used for explanation of manifestation and presence of God and pantheism. As a mystical symbol, mirror is highly noticed in the works of Mawlavi (Rumi) and Ayn al-Quzat Hamadani. The application of mirror in these works can be analyzed in three stages: mystical ontology, mystical cosmology and mystical anthropology. Ayn al-Quzat uses the metaphor of mirror to express the inability of human reason in understanding God, the role of perfect man and being mirror-like in reflecting the reality, but Rumi uses the metaphor widely and has a different expression. He emphasizes on the role of perfect man and being mirror-like, refers to the mystical issues such as Divine names and attributes, pantheism and manifestation of God, and speaks about light and color which are related to symbol of  mirror.

        Numerous dialogues between quietism and effort in Masnavi show the importance of these concepts in (Mawlavi) Rumi's thoughts. Bakhtin's theory of polyglossia is based on dialogue. According to him, polyglossiais examination of pro and con ideas in various linguistics types where one voice is not predominate one. This can be a proper theory for considering Rumi’s view about quietism and effort. Based on Bakhtin’s theory of polyglossia, in the present article, ideology, outlook and kind of language of characters in two stories of Masnavi are analyzed. The results show that heteroglossia is prominent in the dialogues referring to the ideology and outlook, but in the dialogues where ideology is lacking it is not so prominent. Yet the narrator gets involved in the dialogues and obtains same results for both kinds of narrations. When the story gains distance from heteroglossia, the narrator is the prevailing voice.   Manuscript profile
