The wide pitch of Rumi's ideas is so vast that once a person becomes interested in his works he begins to feel that all the scriptures of the world are put in one scripture, and that is Rumi's. When the mysticism of Rumi attracted thousands of seeking souls, those who had education, deep thought, influence, and power, many tried to make Rumi claim to be the Prophet. That is the last thing he would do. He said that he was there to interpret the spirit and the soul of the Prophet, and it is his interpretation that attracted them. But he did not want to take the place of the Prophet. He did not want to proclaim himself something which he was not meant to be.
