"Read the text ‘I have not created Jinns and men but to worship me,’ The only object of the world is to worship God. Though the object of a book is to teach an art, If you make a pillow of it, it serves that purpose too, Yet its main object is not to serve as a pillow But to impart knowledge and useful instruction."
Rumi
