Summary/Abstract: Jalal al-Din al-Rumi (d. 1273), interested in philosophy and has made critical evaluations. He, does not ignore the philosophy. But, he make some warnings about both mind and philosophy. To him, mind is an extremely valuable device in our daily life; however, it is insuffıcient in reaching the truth. Concequently, in search of the truth, love and the message should be preferred. As to the philosophy, it is based on the mind, and it is useful in the base of the thoughts. Yet, neither enables the man to reach the truth nor it contributes to his spiritual development. To Mevlâna, the philosophy is dangerous for the blievers because of the suspicion it carries with its esence.
