QUOTATION MARKS - The Symbols & The Mystical

Sages set up symbols as a means to point to traces;
Understand outside of symbols, and you get to the mystical.
You must find the intent of adepts outside words;
Originally the absolute has no sphere.
To forget the symbol once you get the idea is still nothing special;
Forgetting even the idea is the ultimate rule.
