Resumo

Rumi's concept of "Love," which He has proposed for years, has been tried to be explained from various perspectives. However, some scholars claim that it consists of phrases reflecting the content of "Divine Love," some of them "The peak of human romanticism," and some of them "Theosophy."

The critical works written by Rumi are Masnawi and Divan-e Shams. He points out two crucial issues there and even starts the poem at the beginning of the Masnawi not with the name of Allah, but with "Listen from the reed-flute!" In this beginning, Rumi deals with the expressions "separation" and "unity" and emphasizes that the creature will prefer to return to the place it is attached to.

This research examines theosophical approaches based on Rumi's work. It tries to determine the difference between romantic thinking, theosophic approaches, and the love expressed by Rumi. There are similarities between Rumi's view and theosophism. However, the necessary research has not been done in this regard. In today's era, getting results about Rumi's thoughts and mystical view of theosophism is essential. This research is based on comparative studies and the qualitative methodology. Corpus selection was at the forefront, and Divan-e Kabir and Masnawi were determined as the main works and analysis sources.
