The greatest mystics are those who believe that “silence” is the only way of speaking of God. Mowlānā justifies this approach as the capacity for creating multi-sided meanings. He symbolically asserts that Meaning is an Ocean, one can never be drowned into it but through “silence”. That is why a true fish in this ocean is “A Talking Dumb”. Gadamer, in his own turn, through demystifying St. Augustin’s “inner word” (equal to Mowlānā’s “ocean of meaning”), takes the narrative universe of hermeneutics as made up of two contrasting Words: Inner Word which is all content lacking any true idea; Outer Word which can never coincide with inner intention. There remains, thus, no ways but a constant search for “The word of Thinking” in order to express the innermost intentions manifested as images and symbols in mysterious and unshaped mystical sayings
