The rose has no name
You come across a rose flower and the moment you see it, immediately language jumps in and something inside your mind says, “a beautiful rose flower,” and you have destroyed something. Now it is neither beautiful nor a rose – a word is there. Don’t allow the word to interfere with each and every of your experiences. Sometimes just be there with the rose and don’t say, “a rose.” There is no need. The rose has no name, the names are given by us.
