Abstract
Mystics use a special kind of language to convey their thoughts, circumstances (haal) and experiences. This language is exclusive for mystics and has its own distinctive words and expressions. While there are numerous categorizations, mystic language is divided into the two broad types of literal language and symbolic language. The literal language is employed to delineate the thoughts and concepts surrounding mysticism, while the symbolic language is for unfolding the genuine experiences of mystics.
