將他引入神秘主義之門的人是一個名叫大不裡士的沙姆士(Shamsi of Tabriz)的苦修僧人。與沙姆士在1244年的相遇,使魯米發生了巨大的轉變。用魯米自己的話來說:“我從人類身上看到了從前認為只有在真主身上才有的東西”。他開始成為一位神秘主義詩人。魯米把他的抒情詩集命名為《沙姆士·大不裡士詩歌集》。這部詩集收錄了三千二百三十首抒情詩,共計三萬五千詩行。詩中運用隱喻、暗示和像征等藝術手法,通過對“心上人”、“朋友”的思念、愛戀和追求,表達修道者對真主的虔誠和信仰,闡發了“人神合一”的蘇菲之道。
魯米在波斯文學史上享有極高的聲譽,他與菲爾多西、薩迪、哈菲茲齊名,有“詩壇四柱”之稱。集詩人和神秘主義者於一身的魯米,受到過諸如黑格爾、柯勒律支、歌德、倫伯朗、教皇約翰二十二世等人的贊譽。隨著上個世紀六十年代在美國興起的新時代運動(the Newage Movement)的發展和興盛,西方人重又把目光投向古代、投向東方,尋求一切可能滿足他們心靈渴望和精神追求的靈性源泉。在20世紀90年代,經由魯米詩歌英譯者的努力,700多年前的蘇菲神秘主義詩人魯米,令人難以置信地成為了當代美國最受歡迎的心靈詩人(poet of heart),一本收錄了他代表作的英譯詩集在美國銷量達到50萬冊。他的詩歌被重新譜曲並演唱,成為進入音樂排行榜的暢銷音樂。甚至蘇菲們的旋轉舞,也被吸收成為現代舞的舞蹈語言。
