Abstract

One of the reasons for Roozbehān's significance is the wide reflection of the experience of the mystical journey in his works. The analysis of his particular mystical language in the experience of becoming is possible using the model of dynamic discourse and its evolutionary process. This pattern shows that mystical language is not a static discourse. The purpose of this study is to analyze the dynamics of mystical experience in the context of language; accordingly, self-identity and otherness as well as the becoming of the wayfarer will be examined. Parts of the dynamic process are interpreted using the semantic square, which is defined based on the movement, through negation, from a contradictory category and getting to the opposite side. Such a study reveals that in Roozbehān's mystical discourse, the seeker's self-identity is poverty and annihilation. The annihilation of self-identity paves the way to otherness; an identity which is constantly being reconstructed, insofar as it is connected to the identity of God in a transcendental process. In this process, the relation of ethics causes the separation of the subject from the self, and his continuous interaction with the super-ego and placing it in the center, ensures the continuity of meaning. Words such as annihilation and self-forgetfulness indicate the separation of the subject from itself. Also, words such as remembering the Truth, seeing in its light, primeval monotheism, and the sun of the eternal essence guarantee the continuity of meaning. The evolution that causes the agent or the rational self to begin a journey in itself is the awareness of the pests of having. Thus, he says no to the identities that possession gives him, then through a mystical conduct, he transforms into a superior consciousness whose identity is defined by poverty and annihilation. The modal verbs including wanting in the mystical discourse along with seeking and must-ness, which are equal to the mentor's guidelines, provide the preconditions for the formation of the subject. Ultimately, what makes the seeker an agent of ability is the grace and mercy of the Almighty.
