In Book 2, Section 107 of the Masnavi, Jalaluddin Rumi refutes the literalist objection to the prenatal prostration of John the Baptist to Jesus. Rumi argues that for those possessing spiritual insight (ahl-e khater), realities hidden from the physical senses are completely present and visible. He emphasizes that spiritual connection does not require physical proximity, as the spiritually awakened can perceive the divine even with closed eyes. To further illustrate that meaning transcends literal speech and material constraints, Rumi points to the way fables like Kalila and Dimna convey profound truths through the imagined dialogue of animals, proving that deeper spiritual meanings are independent of physical mechanics.
