In Book 2 of Jalaluddin Rumi's Masnavi, following Moses's harsh condemnation of a shepherd's anthropomorphic prayer, God delivers a profound revelation rebuking the prophet. God declares that Moses has separated a devoted servant from his Creator, emphasizing that the true purpose of divine messengers is to unite, not to sever ties over strict orthodoxy. Rumi uses this divine intervention to articulate a core Sufi principle: the Divine evaluates the sincerity and humility of the inner state ($حال$), rather than the outward form or theological precision of spoken words ($قال$). Because each individual is granted a unique idiom and capacity for understanding, what appears as blasphemy to a formal scholar may be pure devotion from a simple lover. The passage concludes that the 'religion of love' transcends all formal religious boundaries, prioritizing the burning passion of the soul as the ultimate substance, while words and doctrines are merely derivative accidents.
