In his Masnavi-yi Ma'navi, Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmi (d.1273) describes a cosmology in which the path to God is laced with paradox and oppositions, in part because God Himself has a dual nature—He has aspects pertaining to His Majesty (Jalāl) and His Beauty (Jamāl). In the realm of manifestation, these aspects often come into conflict and appear as oppositional or even paradoxical. But, for Rumi, these paradoxes in God and the cosmos do not lead us to ambiguity, relativity, or uncertainty. Rather, they signal the need to move beyond the theoretical and propositional towards the life of embodied spiritual practice, where the interplay of oppositional pairs becomes an important part of achieving spiritual felicity. Through analyzing relevant passages from the Masnavi, I will explore Rumi's conceptualization of the oppositional pair of God's comparability (tashbīh) and His incomparability/transcendence (tanzīh), which, for Rumi, are related to two modalities of knowing—through love and through knowledge. I will examine how, for Rumi, the interplay between these oppositional pairs does not reflect an irreconcilable or contradictory reality, but one in which ultimate certainty lies beyond the union of opposites.
