You are correct that the poet Rumi is not mentioned by name in the source text. However, the devotional spirit of his poetry is very much in line with the teachings found in the Shri Sai Satcharitra. Chapter 19 speaks of tearing down the wall of 'I and Thou' between Guru and disciple to reach a state of non-duality, a theme often found in Sufi mysticism. It beautifully states, ''Allah-Malik, Allah-Malik' (God is the Master); there is no other protector besides Him.' The chapter emphasizes that true success is attaining spiritual wealth, which is achieved through unwavering faith and the Guru's grace.
Tell me about Rumi. I bet you can't find him in the book.
