Abstract

The present research studied the pedagogical teachings of the cognitive metaphor of spring (season) in Mathnavi, using a descriptive-analytical and deductive method. These teachings are offered within the framework of the teachings and guidance of Murad and the perfect shaikh for the education of the salik. Concepts such as man's breath and speech, resurrection, perfect wali, soul of the lover, universal intellect, divine expansion and grace, evolution of internal states, reviving name, and satisfaction of virtuous men are represented in the form of the cognitive metaphor of spring. The findings of the study suggest the following components; getting rid of materialistic aspects of life, dominance of the internal world, acceptance of one's liability and fault, gradual nature of human spiritual perfection, observing politeness before the guiding wali, avoiding needlessness in front of the guiding wali,‌ infusion of happiness and delight in human heart, doing away with disappointment and agony, and the emergence of the spiritual reality of man through examination and affliction.
