DAMLANIN YOLCULUĞUNA FARKLI BAKIŞLAR: SEYR Ü SÜLÛK VE MONOMİT ÇERÇEVESİNDE ÂŞIK DÂİMÎ’NİN BİR ŞİİRİ
DIFFERENT VIEWS ON THE JOURNEY OF THE DROP: A POEM BY ÂŞIK DÂİMÎ IN THE FRAME OF SEYR U SULUK AND MONOMITE

Summary/Abstract: The concepts of road and journey have been conceived in various ways by different branches of art. Despite this diversity, there are common motifs in many narratives about the journey. In this study, the concepts of the eternal journey of the hero, which developed within the framework of the monomyth theory put forward by the mysticism doctrine and Campbell, were chosen to be examined. By evaluating the similarities on the journey conceptions of these two concepts, Âşık Daimî's poem “I Belt on a Truth” is examined. The emergence of the Islamic faith has transformed the Sufi culture into a culture that directs the way of life, moral rules and personality of Muslims. In this process, sects began to emerge and however, Sufi rituals that differed from sect to sect were seen. The purpose of Sufism is to reach the truth by suffocating. Being a sulûk, under the leadership of a person called a murshid-i kamil, is expressed with the concept of seyr ü süluk, which is the set of rules that the Sufi volunteer, who is a Sufi volunteer, should apply on the way he aims to reach God. One of the other concepts that we come across when traveling is called Monomite theory. Campbell; Starting from the structure he called Monomite, he formulated the paths followed by the heroes and resolved the partnerships with this method. It is seen that the monomyth theory can be applied especially in the majority of works that adhere to the classical narrative. The aim of this study is to examine Âşık Dâimî's work I Believe in a Truth from two different perspectives, as a view of a devotee who navigates in Sufi culture and as a view of the hero's journey stages in Campbell's Monomyth theory. The first part of the study covers the examination of Âşık Dâimî's “I Belt on a Truth”, with the view of the devotee who watches in Sufi culture. According to this approach, the mixing of the drop with the river, finding the universe in the drop and returning to itself again shows the understanding of unity of existence. The next part covers the analysis of Âşık Dâimî's “I Belt on a Truth” from the perspective of the hero's endless journey in Campbell's Monomyth theory. According to this approach, it was considered as a devotee hero whose journey is described in the work and examined under the headings of departure-initiation-return. While preparing this study, the concepts of patrol type, understanding of Sufism and navigation in Sufism were examined. These concepts have been analyzed with the work studied. In the next stage, Campbell's Monomyth theory and its adaptation to various works were examined and combined with the work in question. As a result, there are common universal traces in the journey of initiation, whether it is a literary text hero or a dervish.
