نقد قدرت از ديدگاه مولانا در مثنوي

Criticism of Power from Mawlana’s point of view in Masnavi

كمتر كسي ممكن است به مولانا به چشم منتقد و مصلح اجتماعي نگاه كند و در آثار عرفاني و غنايي وي به دنبال آراي انتقادي و سياسي باشد؛ اما درك عرفان و انديشه انساني و مردم‌گرايانه او، ترديدي در جامعيت شخصيت و جهان‌بيني وي باقي نمي‌گذارد؛ از اين رو بسيار طبيعي مي‌نمايد كه او وقتي از رستگاري انسان و زندگي صلح‌آميز و مبتني بر معنويت و آگاهي سخن مي‌گويد، قدرت ستم‌گرايانه و استبداد ظالمانه را به مثابه مانعي عمده نكوهش مي‌كند. در اين نوشتار سعي شده است با كنكاش در مثنوي، برخورد او با مساله قدرت و حكومت و جهت‌گيري انتقاديش نسبت بدان بررسي و تحليل شود.

Mowlana as a social critic is a subject which has seldom been dealt with. Also rare, is searching after political and critical ideas in his mystical and lyrical works, however his understanding of Gnosticism and philanthropic humane thought leaves no doubt in accepting his all encompassing character and ideology. Therefore, it seems only natural when he speaks of human salvation and peaceful life based on consciousness and spirituality should he reproach oppressive power, cruel dictatorship as major obstacles on the way. In this article attempt is made to investigate and analyze Mowlana’s critical stance with respect to the problem of power and government in Masnavi.
