Abstract

In this paper, I would like to take into account some of the main elements that in my
 opinion forge Yunus Emre’s form of life and that are directly reflected in his Divan, one
 of the most important works of Turkish poetry written during the XIII and XIV centuries.
 Although we have little information about Yunus Emre’s life, we know for sure that he
 was a dervish, a person who followed the path of Sufism. I will investigate to what extent
 Yunus Emre’s Divan relates to his spiritual journey experiences. What can we understand
 about his life by reading his poetry? Did he write to witness his innermost experiences?
 Did he write to understand his journey toward the Ineffable Absolute (Hakk)? What is the
 relationship between his way of walking along the spiritual path and his conception of
 language?
