The Sama is one of the most important educational principles of Sufism that the Sufis have been working on in a state of excitement.

Rumi is a serious supporter of Sama, but he becomes bold and focused on it after meeting Shams. It is after Shams' visit that Rumi devotes his time to the austerity, and inner manner, and Sama.

According to Rumi, Sufi is free from physical world and self-sensual phenomena by Sama and Sufi will be free to dance. In accordance with Rumi, Sama is a spiritual mood which is not limited to the ordinary principles of Sufi assemblies. In this spiritual experience, the companions were excited who were under the influence of the poetry and music. They screamed, torn apart their clothes, and they spinning on rotating on each other for hours. They skied and danced. With that passion, they were free themselves for a few moments.

Molana considered Sama as a means of freedom and escape. Sama is a mean which helped the spirit to free human from the physical to ascent the Heaven.

Sama is not only a dance from Rumi’s point of view. It’s an esoteric cultivation and worship devoid of his particular order and it’s a prayer. The importance of Sama for Rumi is that he believed in two types of prayer: first, the love prayer and the other is illumination prayer. From Rumi's view, Sama is the same as the love prayer which is also referred to as the inner prayer.
