        Psychoanalysis is one of the most important theories which focuses on the inner and hidden meanings of the story. Currently, with the connection of literature and psychology more and more, we can find a way to discover the meaning hidden in the texts. Jung's theory of individuality reviews the realization of the archetype of the self, i.e. the balance between external and internal forces with the desire for evolution in the individual. We are going to reread a story from Masnavi with this perspective. Since Rumi is a mystic who has a symbolist mind and wrote the Masnavi in ​​the form of a mystical work, the work is potential for archetypal criticism.

The result of the research indicates that in this story, Rumi has proposed transcendence with mystical principles in reaching the process of individuality, and finally, Rumi's goal, which is to achieve perfection and self-knowledge, is in line with Jung's theory. This research has been investigated with a library-documentary method, with an analytical-descriptive approach. Manuscript profile
