Jalaluddin Rumi's Human Essence and His Comments on the Types

Abstract

Jalaluddin Rumi explored man from all sides, his natural-material and spiritual-moral world. Its opposite and negative features, natural or hereditary and acquired qualities. With one word, one can call him the founder of the philosophy of man of the spiritual world. He distinguished all kinds of man, such as, man-sacred; half-animal man, half-angel; cannibal man; a person possessing one person and many faces; drop and sea; man is God's telescope, etc. Among the five scientific and spiritual heritages of Jalaluddin Rumi, we would not be mistaken if we say that three in particular - "Masnaviyi Manaviy", "Fihi mo Fihiy" and "Devoni Shamsi Tabrizi" are the rarest source of human philosophy. The main theme of all his works is man, human existence, his inner spiritual and spiritual world, its conflicts, harmony and disagreements, dreams, passion, love, pain, imperfection, and the ways to achieve perfection are covered with logical consistency. In this regard, Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi's work "Majolisi Saba" - "Seven Meetings" is also important. As the name suggests, it is a work created from recording the sermons of seven meetings of Rumi. The core of the work is "drop" (man), "sea" (Allah) and "movement". In fact, from the prophet to the common people, from the genius to the doctor and teacher, from the old man to the baby, from the white person to the black person, from the king to the poor, everyone is like drops of Rumi. But the drops are different. The sea is God, the Creator. One of Rumi's greatest achievements is his indifference. If every person living on earth differs from the other in forms, in essence their needs, outlook, beliefs, desires, dreams are similar, they enrich each other. The most important thing is to accept a person as much as possible. He was able to show his positive and negative sides, his flaws and his achievements. He tries to show people the ways to open the eyes of the soul gently, without hurting their hearts and pride.
