Firstly, we made a literature review. Then we tried to detect the ethical meanings the thinker gave to these concept and show the moral conseguences. At the end of the research, we concluded that Mevlana developed a moral teaching whose religious mystic side is predominant, rather than philosophical moral teaching and whereas he accepted the soul as positive side of human, he accepted self as bad side of human. And we have come to a conclusion that whereas he considered the soul as the fundamental source of nice feeling, thought, nature and virtue, he considered the self as the fundamental source of bad feeling, thought, nature and virtuelessness %K Mevlana %K Ahlak %K £¿nsan %K Nefs %K Ruh %U http://dergipark.org.tr/tudear/issue/46963/589574
