Rumi's View of Science and its Variant

Science means knowledge and wisdom of some of the interpretations of the meaning which is one of the most dominant thoughts of the seventh century AH, the poet Rumi. In mystical sources science is found in two forms: external and internal. Mowlana believes in the kind of science that guides man towards truth and joins appearance to reality. He is influenced by Hadith and sees the faithful in search of truth. Mowlana sees the inner knowledge as wisdom and outward knowledge as logic. He is influenced by Quranic thoughts. In his view words are obstacles which expand selfishness and prevent achieving truth. This paper is an attempt to study Mowlana's view of science as expressed in his Masnavie-Manavi.
