"Know you a name without a thing answering to it? Have you ever plucked a rose (Gul) from Gaf and Lam? You name His name; go seek the reality named by it. Look for the moon in heaven, not in the water. If you desire to rise above mere names and letters Make yourself free from self at one stroke."
Rumi
