| description | The action in mystical texts is influenced by factors that facilitate the expression of mystical feelings. These factors may be the result of inductive, prescriptive, incidental, or tension-driven processes. Historically, this discussion dates back to the time of Aristotle, when these factors were first discussed in relation to the binary oppositions that underpin human thought. A number of structuralists and semioticians throughout the 20th century investigated these issues, including Saussure, Freud, Pierce, Morris, and Greimas. Accordingly, a semantic-semiotics perspective allows us to study the mechanisms of meaning production in discourse systems from sensory-perceptual, cognitive, and aesthetic perspectives. An examination of the discourse systems of the story "Pirchangi" — one of the poetic stories of Masnavi by Rumi — is presented in this paper. As part of clarifying the position of action, tension, existence, and state systems in the story, the author also presents the transition of the main character at the end of the story from a state of disorder to one of order. As a result of the analysis, the state system plays a significant role in the character's journey into the state of belief via an epiphany. It is due to the presence of the existential subject that this story has the appeal for repeated readings, as Rumi himself points out at the conclusion. |
