In a period of high development of science and technology and new directions of thinking, new attitudes appear towards the problem of human being. The problem of man was reflected also in high and poetic and beautiful form in the outside of Jalaleddin Rumi Mewlana and we will try to present our new view of the problem of human being from his sufi prism.

Tasavvuf as one of the methods of thinking researches the human as unity of spirit and body beyond the geographic regions (East-West) and religions, discovers the divine point in the human and his way to the universal harmony and divine unity. The Eastern, especially Islamic philosophy was a source of ideas for Western philosophy. Today for Western researches seeking humanity and high human qualities Jalaleddin Rumi Mewlana presents a perfect source and way to the perfection. Jalaleddin Rumi knew the Islamic principles very well, followed them censoriously, presented them by the language and light of tasavvuf – sensitive poetry and invite all human beings to exaltation and purity and perfection. Besides he had a divine light and illumination discovering irrational truth. Mawlana is an embodiment of perfect man not only for eastern man and Moslems, but also for western man and Christians.
