Notes
Religious, Sufi advice book written by Süleyman Şâdî in 1280/1863-64. The entire text is written in the “fâilâtün fâilâtün fâilün” pattern. The work, written in Persian, was designed as 300 couplets, as stated in the copyright section. Şâdî stated the name and year of writing of the work in the date section of 2 couplets. Thus, the total number of couplets increased to 302. The work complies with a classical masnavi arrangement. Tawhid, munacat, na't, praise, yâr-ı güzîn, starting with the Bismillah; The chapters consisting of 136 couplets, containing eulogies and eulogies of the sultan of the period, Sultan Abdulaziz, his grand vizier Fuad Pasha, and the leading religious authority and Governor of Kars province, Emin Fehim Pasha, constitute the introduction of the work. In the part of the work where the main subject that can be classified as âgâz-ı dastan is discussed, there are various topics aimed at raising mature individuals, especially in the context of Sufi development. There is advice available. In the mesnevi, which begins with true love and the adjectives of the lover, it focuses on metaphorical love and the actual dimension and elements of the love of the rose and the nightingale. In the work where general moral rules are discussed, behaviors such as learning knowledge, humility, and not being pedantic are recommended. What are the maturing adjectives in Sufism, the adjectives of being a dervish, not glorifying the self, the nature of the concepts of truthfulness and trust, gratitude and patience are explained. Individual development elements such as night prayers, not talking unnecessary, accident and consent to fate are also among the topics covered. At the social point, evaluations about keeping secrets, not revealing secrets to everyone, and not showing too much interest and interest in the world are among the main topics seen in the work. It is seen that there are general advice and recommendations to the readers in the couplets given under the title of "tenbihat" at the end of the work. No academic study has been done on Bahru'l-Meânî yet, and only information about its existence is given in the sources. However, the text identified in a corpus belonging to the poet was introduced to the scientific world through a conference paper by Ahmet İçli (2018). Introductory information about the work was presented as a magazine article by İçli in 2020 (2020). For the author of the work, see. “Şâdî, Süleyman”.Turkish Literature Names Dictionary.
