Analysis of the Meaning and Enthusiasm of Life in Mathnawi Manavi (by Victor Frankel's Theory)
Abstract
Maulana in Mathnawi seeks to create motivation and enthusiasm for life with spirituality. He seeks to remove the barriers to the pursuit of spirituality in front of the seeker. Enduring suffering, responsibility, true love, and a firm belief in God are the fundamental foundations of spirituality. His mystical view is in line with Victor Frankel's school of semantic psychology. Therefore, in this study, the concept of meaning and enthusiasm for living in Mathnavi is analyzed by Frankel's theory. The research method is descriptive-analytical and library-type. In this study, the components of suffering, tolerance, responsibility, love, and religiosity of Frankel's theory in Mathnavi Manavi have been explained and interpreted. The findings show that the meaning of therapy and mysticism with the aim of life's passion can only happen with divine love and enduring the problems of this dangerous path and if there was any error or sin in it by relying on God, he returns to God and the way of truth.
