Rumi writes: " I belong to the soul of the Beloved". There is no other in his stellar poetry, just the Beloved and the sweet nectar of the Beloved. Rumi was about commonality of humanity, not difference. His point is simply to know the Beloved. Beautifully rendered.
The disbeliever's book has neither beginning nor end. A few pages from its middle is all we ever grasp. For religion's sake and fear of blasphemy we endure woe. Reason cannot perceive where righteousness may go
The roots of Sufism precedes Islam. Sufism in Iran is the continuity of esoteric traditions in Zoroastrianism, Mitrasim and even beyond. Sohrevardi has extensive literature on this, which he calls Hekmate Khosravanieh. All esoteric traditions point to the same thing, they are expressed differently when they come to words. Sufism, like Buddhism, and other esoteric traditions is essentially about *LIVING IN THE MOMENT* (= letting go of ego by living beyond time and mental abstractions).
I disagree with the way you described Sufism. But, its just my opinion I do not intend to get in any sort of argument.
I tries to say in a way that we are nothing but nothingness but yet not nothingness, we belong to the Beloved(God) we are like the Beloved describes (in essence) only his breath(i.e spirit: in essence).
Actually, it is a bit more complicated. Sufis start interpreting literally, then move to deeper level of knowledge, then they shed material strings, then the heart gets involved and then the trouble starts, then they get violent encounter from mediocor (literal) minds! Peace;
I am a Sufi myself, and all sufis DONOT think alike becuz the culture might be different. The one thing that we do have in common, is that we know the spark of ALLAH IS IN MAN, and once one knows this, u donot fall into MEANINGLESS rituals.
Theres nothing wrong with literal things, its just that the ones who say "Mohammed said this" and "the hadith says that", are usually the ones who think that the Arabian islam is the ONLY path. However, they donot know that 'Islam' is BEFORE......
Of course Haqq is one and the conflict arises from differing interpretation of that Hqq which is independent of the interpreter. I wonder if the problem arises when we start executing our interpretation on others before we internalize it, practice it and cleanse our heart. For sure, it is easy to execute what we know on others than ourselves. We are programmed to have differing opinion and that is the fact. BUT, some are very afraid that differing interpretation will ruin Islam.

Most of Rumis peotry is about the love for Allah and all his creations.
His point is simply to know the Beloved.
