Understanding man and his relationship with God are among the topics that are very important in Hindu mysticism, especially in the school of Vedanta and Islamic mysticism, especially in Rumi's poetry. In this article, by using Hindu sacred texts and commentaries on Rumi's Molavi, after examining the main elements of this connection, namely Atman and Brahman in the Vedanta school, and man and God in Molavi, the factors of attaining God and the obstacles facing him are presented. Superior knowledge, self-knowledge, and the use of old or guru's guidance are among the common ways between the two mystics to connect with the absolute truth. In addition, Rumi refers to another superior factor called love, which the Vedanta school, especially its main exponent, Shankara, has paid less attention to it. In addition, apparent knowledge, ignorance, Maya, or illusion are factors that cause man to fail in reaching God, and seekers can reach God by taking advantage of factors and bypassing obstacles. The present work is a comparative descriptive study and the data have been analyzed by using library method of content analysis.
