Rumi (part II)

Rumi has a great commentary on worship. He brings in Moses, a very prominent and important character. I think the reason to bring Moses into this story is to show that God is all-wise, and even Moses makes mistakes. If someone just read the first 3 paragraphs of this story, we would have all agreed with Moses, because he talks so eloquently compared to this shepherd who is nameless. Moses accuses him of being too familiar, blasphemous, and using inappropriate terms. Then God comes in and completely turns Moses's ideas around, asking him "Did you come as a Prophet to unite, or to sever? I have given each being a separate and unique way of seeing and knowing and saying that knowledge. What seems wrong to you is right for him." Since God created everyone differently, why not have us all worship or address God differently and in our own way? Who are any of us to accuse the other person of doing it wrong? Where did we learn that our version of worship is right? I think it's funny how some people run around like they have all the magic rule book and answers on how to do everything correctly. God even says that he looks "inside at the humility". Just be humble, and give yourself to him, that's all he wants. And I love how Moses comes back and says "' I was wrong. God has revealed to me that there are no rules for worship...Your sweet blasphemy is the truest devotion."
