Abstract

While the woman has hardly been portrayed in a positive way in ancient myths, the great Persian thinkers have expressed a realistic attitude towards the woman in their works. In the Persian literature, the woman has played a most brilliant role as the mother, (epitome of farsightedness, religious faith, compassion and wisdom), as well as the beloved (helping man in his ascension towards God). Using his typical method of narration, that is, using proverbs, idioms and traditions in a language free from any prejudice, Rumi sometimes elevates the position of the woman so high that he describes her as a blessing from God. And sometimes he plays down the position of the woman, reducing her to an instrument of vice, a manifestation of the lower self. By this he does not mean to insult the woman; according to him, the spirit is genderless, and that the value of human being, which is manifested in the spirit, is beyond that of the male and the female. The woman has never been granted such a high position as accorded by Rumi, who places her in heaven as the mother, considering her a blessing from God Almighty. Before he deals with the question of gender, preferring one sex to the other, he goes beyond gender and physical differences, attaching value to the individuals who can establish intimate relationships with one another. This is what you would expect of the righteous.
