همانندی اندیشه‌های عرفانی مولانا و اکهارت (وحدت وجود، اتحاد، توحید و فنا) با تمرکز بر تمثیل‌های مثنوی و سوالات پارسی

The most fundamental subject of mysticism is "God" and mystics throughout the ages have tried to find various ways to establish a relationship with Him. Christian and Muslim mystics are experts in this field and along the way have many similarities that make it possible to compare them. Although they also have differences, the way of relating to God is very important in both religions, which has sparked comparisons between them. Like any other thinker, Rumi and Eckhart sought knowledge of existence in the construction of their worldview and turned to something sacred and divine. In this research, which was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method and library resources, the intellectual and content comparison of Rumi's and Eckhart's mystical views was examined. By resorting to the allegories in the Masnavi and the Parisian questions regarding the similarity of Rumi's and Eckhart's thought, it was concluded that the many commonalities and mystical differences between these two contemporary mystics from two different religions brought them very close to each other.
Introduction
The most fundamental subject of mysticism is "God" and mystics throughout the ages have tried to find various ways to establish a relationship with Him. Christian and Muslim mystics are experts in this field and along the way have many similarities that make it possible to compare them; although they also have differences, in both traditions, the way of relating to God is very important and this has led to comparisons and comparisons between them. Like any other thinker, Rumi and Eckhart sought knowledge of existence and existence in the construction of their worldview and turned to something sacred and divine. In this research, which was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method and library resources, the intellectual and content comparison of Rumi's and Eckhart's mystical views was examined. By resorting to the allegories in the Masnavi and the Parisian questions regarding the similarity of Rumi's and Eckhart's thought, it was concluded that the many commonalities and mystical differences between these two contemporary mystics from two different religions brought them very close to each other.
Method
This intellectual and content research is based on a descriptive-analytical purpose and deals with the most important axes and descriptions and analysis of findings in the Mathnawi and the Parisian Questions, and is based on the background of the research of extension and development and in continuation of mystical research. It is also based on the method of data collection, documents or libraries and in the form of references to written sources and references, including books, articles and theses. The original version of the Parisian Questions was in German and its translation into English, therefore, the Unity of Being according to Ibn Arabi and Meister Eckhart by Kakaei, the first work published in Persian on the introduction of Meister Eckhart, is considered as the source of this research in the Unity of Being section, and in other cases, the text of the Mathnawi, the Parisian Questions, articles and research by Afshartarani et al., Hosseini and Talebzadeh, Bababigloo and Elmi, Kurdi Ardakani and Qaderi, etc., are referred to as library sources of this article.
Results
There is much talk about the similarities between the thoughts of Rumi and Meister Eckhart, but there are few differences. What we have found is that both the Muslim Rumi and the Christian Eckhart have a common goal, which is to reach God, and they have expressed this over and over again in different words and phrases.
Conclusion
The language of mysticism is abstract and mystical texts have a specific structure. Rumi believes that the meaning of the Quran can be asked either from the Quran itself or from a person who has destroyed his ego by burning himself and has perished in the presence of the Quran, to the extent that the Quran has become like his soul. Eckhart also finds the truth and meaning of the Holy Bible in the spirit of God and the Holy Spirit. He believes that in order to understand the Holy Bible better and more, one must be free from any intellectual inclination and search for the meaning and truth of the Holy Bible with the Holy Bible itself, that is, with the spirit with which it was spoken and written. Rumi's Masnavi is greatly influenced by the Holy Quran in its use of words and in its interpretations and meanings. It is also full of quotations, allegories, Quranic stories and interpretations of some verses. Like Rumi, Eckhart also illuminates his words with holy verses and his efforts are to explain and interpret these verses. In the thoughts of Rumi and Eckhart, God and man are two fundamental keywords in mysticism, and these two have spent most of their efforts and efforts to understand the relationship between God and man. You can see that according to the research conducted, the views of these two mystics are slightly different in some cases and similar in most subjects. Of course, it is clear that each of the mystical concepts of unity of existence, unity, monotheism and annihilation in Rumi's Masnavi and Eckhart's Parisian Questions have semantic equivalents, and some of them have subsets, and sometimes these concepts are so blurred in each other that they cannot be separated. This intertwining often has a high frequency. It is clear that in order to reach God, the mystic must pay special attention to concepts that have similar semantic load in order to be able to pass the stages of transcendence.
