“…Volviendo nuestra atención a la tradición intelectual islámica, encontramos que el sufismo teórico y algunas corrientes de la filosofía islámica señalan que el cosmos fue creado a imagen de Dios. Los seres humanos, también creados a imagen de Dios, no son, por tanto, sino el cosmos, pues cosmos y ser humano son, como Chittick expresa poéticamente, "dos caras de la misma moneda, una moneda que fue acuñada a imagen de Diosˮ 15 . Así pues, existe una conexión íntima entre los modos en que el sujeto experimenta el mundo y el cuadro cósmico en el que este sujeto vive:…”

Resumen: William Chittick, actualmente profesor distinguido en la Universidad de Nueva York (Stony Brook), es un experto y reconocido especialista en Pensamiento islámico. Sus contribuciones al campo del Sufismo y la Filosofía islámica han contribuido a pintar un cuadro claro del paisaje espiritual e intelectual de la civilización islámica desde el siglo VII/XIII en adelante. Aunque, Chittick no está solo preocupado por las discusiones sobre pensamiento islámico como reliquias de la historiaintelectual premoderna. Su vasto conocimiento de la tradición intelectual moderna sirve como base desde la cual busca abordar una amplia variedad de asuntos contemporáneos. En este breve ensayo, destacaré los escritos de Chittick que versan sobre el sí dentro del contexto de su tratamiento de la cosmología. Más allá de emplear métodos obsoletos para mirar al universo y nuestra relación con él, Chittick sostiene que las enseñanzas cosmológicas tradicionales islámicas son justamente tan relevantes para la cuestión del sí hoy en día como lo fueron en el pasado. Abstract: William Chittick, currently professor of religious studies at the State University of New York (Stony Brook), is an internationally renowned expert on Islamic thought. His contributions to the fields of Sufism and Islamic philosophy have helped paint a clearer picture of the intellectual and spiritual landscape of Islamic civilization from the seventh/thirteenth century onwards. Yet Chittick is not simply concerned with discussions in Islamic thought as artifacts of premodern intellectualhistory. His vast knowledge of the Islamic intellectual tradition serves as the platform from which he seeks to address a broad range of contemporary issues. In this short essay, I will outline Chittick’s writingson the self within the context of his treatment of cosmology. Rather than being outdated ways of looking at the universe and our relationship to it, Chittick argues that traditional Islamic cosmological teachings are just as pertinent to the question of the self today as they were yesterday.

“…In this respect, the needs that humans search for can be regarded as "beloved ones." The great Sufi theorist, Ibn Arabi, argued that Love is the fundamental force in the creation of the universe, and since there is not a true being other than God, the Lover and the Beloved is in fact Himself, using theoretical explanations with references to Hadiths (as cited in Chittick, 2003). Rumi also reflected this theme in his poems, yet did not address this issue theoretically.…”

“…There is consensus between Ibn Arabi and Rumi on the idea that Love cannot be described but can be experienced (Chittick, 2003). While Ibn Arabi defended the idea that true love may only be towards God theoretically, Rumi gave priority to fostering spiritual development and conveying to the reader the experience of love through his poetry (Chittick, 2003).…”

“…"They transcended positions such as sheikhdom, discipleship, and successorship to become mirrors for one another," (Can, 2011, p. 57). Chittick (2003) argued that Ibn Arabi and Rumi represented two different faces of Sufism. Both were at the climax of their style and both had since left deep impacts on Sufism.…”

“…Rumi insistently advised readers to pursue suffering and to understand one's imperfections and distance from desired qualities such as wholeness, balance, moderation, wisdom, and compassion, to understand the existential poverty of the human being. Ibn Arabi also defined poverty and dependence as the most basic concepts of Sufism (Chittick, 2003).…”

Rumi was a renowned Sufi, spiritual teacher, and poet who has attracted both scholarly and non-scholarly attention all over the world. This paper aims to present Rumi' s life and his works and contributions in the fields of thought and spirituality within themes of potential importance for both general and spiritually oriented counseling by providing some biographical details to further the understanding of his personal development as well as his approaches and contributions regarding human nature, Sufism, asceticism, love, "nothingness" within unity, and death. A biographical analysis of Rumi' s own psychological transformation by Arasteh has also been presented. This paper also discusses the possibility of benefitting from Rumi texts as a resource for both spiritually oriented counseling and counseling in general, especially in the form of bibliotherapy, and attempts to outline the prospects and challenges of benefitting from Rumi and Sufi resources in general for psychotherapy and counseling. Keywords Rumi • Masnavi • Spirituality • Counseling • Psychotherapy Manevi Psikoloji ve Danışma Perspektifinden Mevlana ÖzBu çalışmada Mevlana'nın hayatı, eserleri ve düşünce ve maneviyat alanlarındaki katkıları, gerek genel anlamda psikolojik danışmanlık; gerekse manevi yönelimli psikolojik danışmanlık süreçleri açısından dikkate değer bulunabilecek temalar altında sunulmaya çalışılmaktadır. Yaşam öyküsü Mevlana'nın kişisel bağla-mının anlaşılmasına katkı sağlayacak şekilde aktarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Mevlana'nın insan doğasına bakışı, tasavvuf anlayışı, aşk, birlik içinde yok olma, zühd ve ölüm kavramına ilişkin yaklaşımları sunulmaktadır. Ayrıca Mevlana'nın kendi psikolojik dönüşümüne ilişkin Arasteh tarafından yapılmış olan bir biyografik çözümlemeye yer verilmiştir. Mevlana metinlerinin manevi danışmanlık ve genel anlamda danışma ve psikoterapi süreçlerinde bir kaynak olarak ele alınmasının imkânı tartışılmaktadır.
