Summary/Abstract: The paper will treat different readers receptions’ and layers of understanding of the work of Spiritual Masnavi (Masnavī Ma’navī), but also the relationship between Šams Tabrizi and Rumi, on an individual and collective level, based on the verses of Rumi of Masnavi and the Divan of Šams Tabrizi. It will try to penetrate into the causes of this multipolarity, the ultimate origins of which open up the possibility of an integrating reader’s reaction to Rumi’s most widely read work both in the East and in the West. It will be shown that the act of communication between the author, the work and the reader, in fact, grows into a self-knowledge process for the reader, and that in the act of reception, although it seems to the reader that he is judging the text, but by loading his own interpretation into the text, he is actually judging himself. To himself, in accordance with his own cognitive level. Therefore, the reader, for the sake of even a valid understanding of Masnavi, should try to build a holistic approach to this work, after Rumi points out that Masnavi, with all the multipolarity of the topic, speaks of only one Universal reality.
