METAFOR

(MESNEVÝ/KABAK METAFORU)

Metafor, genellikle bir dilin en zengin tarafýný temsil eder.

Metafor, bir dilin belki de doðasýnda olan en gizli hazinelerine iþaret eder.

Metafor sayesinde en basit ve yaygýn kullandýðýmýz kelimeler bile (“kafa”, “ev”, “hayvan” gibi) bir ölçüde baðlama göre seçilecek olan ve kolay kolay reddedilemeyen veya kaçýnýlmayan alt anlamlara sahiptirler.

Metafor, belki de kelimelerin bir baþlarýna býrakýlamayacaklarýný gösteren baþlýca iþarettir.

Birçok açýdan bakýldýðýnda bir dilin zenginliðini metaforlarýn zenginliði ile doðru orantýlý deðerlendirmek mümkündür.

Metafor, gizli ve açýk olaný ayný potada buluþturur, tarihsiz ve tarifsiz kesintileri uyumlu ve tutarlý bir boyuta taþýr.

Metafor, hiçbir ayrýma tabii tutmaksýzýn ve süreklilik halinde özgün bir biçimde insanlýðýn ortak bilincinin harika bir birikimi, insan denen varlýðýn temsilcisinin zihin dünyasý ve potansiyelinin olaðanüstü bir tasarým mucizesidir.

Bu tasarým mucizesini anlamayan Ebu Cehil’in ayýn yarýlmasý mucizesini (þakk-ý kamer) sihirle yorumladýðý gibi direkt inkâra yönelir.

Metaforun olmadýðý yerde büyük bir boþluk oluþur ve orayý þeytan doldudur.

Mevlana gibi bir bilgeyi metaforu anlamayan sýð insanlar anlayamazlar.

Mesnevi 5. Kitaptan metaforun zenginliðine ve ehemmiyetine dair sýð, basit ve cahil insanlarýn en çok baþvurduðu hikâyeyi irdeleyelim.

“Kabak Metaforu” ile bakýn Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi neler anlatýyor!

Metaforlarý sýralayalým:

“Halayýk”, Allah’a kul olduðunu kabul edip dünyada misafir olduðunu bilen ve asýl hayatýn ahiret olduðuna inanan, nefsin sýnýrsýz taleplerine raðmen dünya nimetlerinden bir ölçü dâhilinde istifade etmesini bilen ve bu sýnýrlýlýðýn sýnýrsýz bir baki karþýlýðý olduðu inancýyla mutlu olan, bahtiyar insaný,

“Ev sahibesi kadýn”, nefsinin bütün taleplerini sýnýrsýz yerine getirmeye hýrsla çalýþan, ahirete inanmadýðý için her þeyi bu dünyada yaþamaya çalýþan vücudu ve nimetler nefsin sýnýrsýz isteklerine cevap veremediði için bir türlü tatmin olmayan bedbaht insaný,

“Eþeðin aleti”,insana imtihan için verilmiþ acýmasýz bir teknik direktör olan nefsin sýnýrsýz arzu, istek ve hýrslarýný,

“Kabak”, insan nefsinin sýnýrsýz ve helak edici hýrs, arzu ve isteklerine dinler/peygamberlerce konulan sýnýra/ölçüye iþaret eder.

“Senin en zararlý düþmanýn nefsindir” sözüyle Hz. Peygamber (s.a.v.) kabaðýn/nefse sýnýr koymanýn ehemmiyetine iþaret eder.

Hz. Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi’nin özellikle zirvedeki bölüm olan Mesnevi’nin 5. Defterini metaforun derinliði bilinciyle bir kez daha okuyun.

Unutmayýn!

Allah Kur’an’da, Resulü (s.a.v.) sünnetinde metafora sýklýkla baþvurur.

Metaforu anlamadan Allah’ýda, Elçisini de derin insanlarý da anlayamazsýnýz.

Metaphor

(Mevlana/Mesnevi/Pumpkin Metaphor)

Metaphor usually represents the richest side of a language.

Metaphor points to the most hidden treasures of a language, perhaps inherent in its nature.

Thanks to metaphor, even the simplest and most commonly used words (such as “head”, “house”, “animal”) have sub-meanings that are chosen according to context to some extent and cannot be easily rejected or avoided.

Metaphor is perhaps the main sign that shows that words cannot be left alone.

When viewed from many perspectives, it is possible to evaluate the richness of a language in direct proportion to the richness of its metaphors.

Metaphor brings together the hidden and the obvious in the same pot, carries ahistorical and indescribable interruptions to a harmonious and consistent dimension.

Metaphor is a wonderful accumulation of the common consciousness of humanity, an extraordinary design miracle of the mental world and potential of the representative of the being called human, without any distinction and in a continuous manner.

Those who do not understand this design miracle directly turn to denial, just as Abu Jahl interpreted the miracle of the splitting of the moon (shakk-i kamer) with magic.

Where there is no metaphor, a great void is created and the devil fills that space.

A wise man like Mevlana cannot be understood by shallow people who do not understand metaphor.

Let's examine the story from the 5th Book of Masnavi that shallow, simple and ignorant people most often refer to regarding the richness and importance of metaphor.

Look at what Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi is telling with the "Squash Metaphor"!

Let's list the metaphors:

“Halayýk”, a fortunate person who accepts that he is a servant of Allah and knows that he is a guest in this world and believes that the real life is the afterlife, knows how to benefit from the blessings of the world within a certain limit despite the limitless demands of the soul and is happy with the belief that this limitation has an unlimited eternal reward,

“Housewife woman”, a miserable person who passionately tries to fulfill all the demands of his soul without limits, who tries to live everything in this world because he does not believe in the afterlife and cannot be satisfied because his body and blessings cannot meet the limitless demands of the soul,

“Donkey’s tool”, the limitless desires, wishes and ambitions of the soul, which is a ruthless coach given to man for testing,

“Kabak” refers to the limit/measure set by religions/prophets for the limitless and destructive ambitions, wishes and desires of the human soul.

With the words “Your most harmful enemy is your soul”, Hz. The Prophet (pbuh) points out the importance of setting limits on the squash/self.

Read the 5th notebook of the Masnavi, especially the top section of Hz. Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi, once again with the awareness of the depth of the metaphor.

Remember!

Allah frequently uses metaphor in the Quran and in the Sunnah of His Messenger (pbuh).

Without understanding the metaphor, you cannot understand Allah, His Messenger or deep people.
