Put aside negation and worship only that Real Being....by Rumi

In discourse, 
negation is used in order to affirm: 

Stop negating 
and begin affirming. 

Come, stop saying
"this is not" and "that is not":

Bring forward that One
who has Real Being.

Put aside negation
and worship only that Real Being.

~ Rumi
