Fihi ma Fihi, the collection of Rumi's discourse-session (majles) sayings, is a work in which mystical teachings are articulated within the context of everyday encounters with disciples, rulers, and the common people, and therefore holds considerable potential for sociological analysis. Pierre Bourdieu, the French sociologist, through his concepts of field, capital, habitus, and symbolic violence, has provided a framework for explaining the hidden mechanisms of power and inequality in social action a framework that has thus far been rarely applied to the analysis of Persian mystical texts. The aim of the present study is to examine the extent to which the discourse of spiritual wayfaring (soluk) in Fihi ma Fihi can be explained through Bourdieu's theoretical lens, and to identify the limits of this explanation. The research method is descriptive-analytical, employing a sociology-of-text approach; the research corpus consists of eight selected sessions (Sessions 1, 3, 11, 14, 18, 24, 35, and 49) from the complete set of Rumi's Fihi ma Fihi discourses, chosen through purposive sampling based on the criterion of audience diversity (ordinary disciples, jurists, and holders of political power). The findings indicate that concepts such as the convertibility of capital, relational thinking, and symbolic violence can be traced in Rumi's discourse in an allegorical and analytical sense (rather than as precise instances of Bourdieu's theory); ultimately, however, the mystical discourse transcends Bourdieu's field-relational framework and lays claim to a state beyond any form of duality.
