Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhī, also known as Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī, Mevlana or Mawlānā, Mevlevi or Mawlawī, and more popularly in the English-speaking world simply as Rumi (30 September 1207 – 17 December 1273), a 13th-century Persian poet, jurist, theologian, and Sufi mystic.[ The French philosopher Henri Bergsons idea of life being creative and evolutionary is similar to Movlana (Rumi), though unlike Bergson, Movlana believes that there is a specific goal to the process: the attainment of God. For Rumi, God is the ground as well as the goal of all existence. However Rumi need not be considered a biological evolutionary creationist. In view of the fact that Rumi lived hundreds of years before Darwin, and was least interested in scientific theories, it is probable to conclude that he does not deal with biological evolution at all. Rather he is concerned with the spiritual evolution of a human being: Man not conscious of God is akin to an animal and true consciousness makes him divine. Nicholson has seen this as a Neo-Platonic doctrine: the universal soul working through the various spheres of being, a doctrine introduced into Islam by Muslim philosophers like Farabi and being related at the same time to Ibn Sinas idea of love as the magnetically working power by which life is driven into an upward trend. “ I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as plant and rose to animal, I died as animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying? Yet once more I shall die as Man, to soar With angels blessd; but even from angelhood I must pass on: all except God doth perish. When I have sacrificed my angel-soul, I shall become what no mind eer conceived. Oh, let me not exist! for Non-existence Proclaims in organ tones, To Him we shall return. ” “ از جمادی مُردم و نامی شدم — وز نما مُردم به حیوان سرزدم مُردم از حیوانی و آدم شدم — پس چه ترسم؟ کی ز مردن کم شدم؟ حملهٔ دیگر بمیرم از بشر — تا برآرم از ملائک بال و پر وز ملک هم بایدم جستن ز جو — کل شیء هالک الا وجهه بار دیگر از ملک پران شوم — آنچه اندر وهم ناید آن شوم پس عدم گردم عدم چو ارغنون — گویدم کانا الیه راجعون ” https://youtube/watch?v=EiYEvmJEbI4 https://youtube/watch?v=MOWEccBQcks
