Rumi: nature and world as mirrors of God

Main Article Content

Mário

Abstract

The present work seeks to show the process of creation from the point of view of Rumi’s mystical poetry. Therefore, it seeks to demonstrate how Rumi gives life, in his writings, to the maximum vivifying act, to the beauty with which he understands and conveys, through the words, knowledge of the divine creative act. It is therefore a matter of showing the process of creation by which creatures receive the filiation of the Creator. And how this primordial link with transcendence is then capable of inspiring every movement observed by the mystic towards the union process, which in Rumi's case, refers to the movement of influx of love. It is through love that creatures are called to recognize, in the world and in the cosmos, the attributes of God, in which they participate by filiation.
