Words of the People of Heart: A Look at the Concept of (Ahl-e Del) in the Divan of Hafez مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

"41 Up to this point, the author's attempt was to show how the people of heart (ahl-e del), despite their wine-drinking and playing with lovers, can be guides toward the Beloved/God. We saw that they, through pure nature and being free from hypocrisy, affectation, and insincerity (the impurity of the cloak), or in other words, by being free from and safe from committing religious/ethical sins, are guides toward God; even though their cloaks are torn and their prayer rugs are stained with wine. In response, it can be said that if we accept that the characteristic of the people of heart or their speech is a "recommendation" to pleasure and enjoyment, and that these matters do not prevent the union of man with God, then it can be thought that reaching God and union with Him, in the view of the Master, is nothing more than the attainment of these psychological desires (pleasure, enjoyment, and happiness) and moral ones (abandoning hypocrisy and affectation); that is, someone who reaches God is, firstly, a person of pleasure and enjoyment, and secondly, is not a person of hypocrisy and insincerity: Hafez, by the right of the Quran, since he is free from intoxication and ostentation, may he be able to proclaim joy in this world. Since the speech of the people of heart or, in other words, their way of life consists of spending life with pleasure and enjoyment (wine-drinking and playing with lovers) on one hand, and being free from hypocrisy and insincerity on the other, it can be said that from Hafez's perspective, someone who lives their life like the people of heart, through pleasure and enjoyment and abandoning hypocrisy (attaining psychological and moral desires), has reached happiness.
