Abstract

The epistemology of self-knowledge in mysticism is one of the pillars of mystical epistemology. Gibran Khalil (1883-1931) was a poet with mystical elements, but he is still on the threshold of the temple of creation. Although he recounts the pure experiences of a mystic in the words of Mustafa, his entanglement in traditions has led some to not consider him among the great mystics. Sohrab Sepehri (1307-1359) is also a poet in search of awareness of love and emotion in connection with mysticism. Sepehri's mysticism has significant differences from classical Iranian mysticism. He shows more inclination towards a special type of Buddhist mysticism in his poetry. This writing shows that both poets express mystical and human elements such as self-knowledge and love, which are characteristic of classical Islamic mysticism. Gibran's mysticism is derived from the spirit of Eastern Sufism, with influences from the Bible and Western literature and the character of Jesus (AS). On the other hand, Sohrab Sepehri is influenced by Indian and Iranian mysticism with a background in naturalism and a tendency towards the humanistic school of Buddhism.
