Abstract :
Rumi's special skill is psychology and human cognition, and the concern of anthropology and helping to alleviate the existential and cognitive pains and fears of man is one of his special intellectual characteristics, so that man does not fall into self-ignorance and the sufferings and fears caused by it. Rumi's solutions to fear in Masnavi are unique, and today's psychology, which provides mechanisms for understanding the nodes of human existence, is comparable in some respects - albeit with a different approach or goals to Rumi. By studying the works of existentialist or humanistic psychologists, it seems that Soren Kirkgour, Rolumi, Abraham Maslow, Eric Fromm, Victor Frankel, Arvinialum, etc. are more efficient than others in this field of research. Due to the limitations of the research, we chose Arvinialum, who has valuable ideas to say on the subject under discussion. Because Rumi's view of issues is often existential and the frightening existential concerns common between Rumi and Arvinialum are: the grief of homelessness and existential loneliness, fear of death, fear of freedom and authority. Therefore, we examine the commonalities between the two (Rumi and Yalom) despite the differences in insight and approach. For example, Rumi's intellectual solutions to get rid of fear, such as story therapy, familiarity with the wisdom and blessings of grief and initial descent, the fear of authority and the wisdom contained in it, and the meaning of life have been compared with Yalom's intellectual approaches.
