Abstract
The best way of explanation and interpretation of mystical texts – here especially regarding Molana’s Mathnavi – is searching the hidden meaning of the text through other parts of it and other literary mystical works, especially those that were before him. This way besides giving us a certain interpretation of the text, will sometimes confront us with new manifestations of meaning and other underlying structure of the text. This article is another look at one of the couplets of Molana’s Mathnavi by considering the idiomatic meaning of omnipotence in mystics’ works before him, and also other works of Molana himself.
