| Summary: | Mystical experience illustrates a fundamental aspect of human relations with the ultimate reality within the framework of religiosity. This article explores the mystical experiences of Hallaj and Meister Eckhart, both of whom came from different religious traditions. Employing a hermeneutic approach, this article attempts to read the experiences of both mystics by interpreting one with the other. Inevitably, although both mystics use different religious language and symbols, there is a strong resonance that allows us for inter-experiential reading of such mystical experiences. This article argues that mystical experience can be the strong basis of interreligious dialogue wherein although each mystical experience is personal and subjective in nature, there is something foundational that can be found as a pulse that is connected and can explain each other, rendering our interreligious understanding richer and more profound. Mistična izkušnja ponazarja temeljni vidik človekovega odnosa do najvišj e resnično-st i v okviru religioznosti. Ta članek raziskuje mistično izkušnjo Hallaja in Meistra Eckharta, ki sta izhajala iz različnih verskih tradicij. Z uporabo hermenevtičnega pristopa ta članek poskuša prebrati izkušnje obeh mistikov tako, da jih razlaga enega z drugim. Čeprav misti-ka uporabljata različen verski jezik in simbole, neizogibno obstaja močan odmev, ki nam omogoča medizkustveno branje takih mističnih izkušenj. Ta članek trdi, da je lahko mistična izkušnja močna podlaga medverskega dialoga, pri čemer – čeprav je vsaka mistična izkuš-nja osebne in subjektivne narave – obstaja nekaj temeljnega, kar je mogoče najti kot utrip, ki jih povezuje in jih lahko medsebojno razlaga, to pa bogati in poglablja naše medversko razumevanje. |
