The tongue of whoever truly recognized God became silent, and one who merely boasts of knowing the divine Truth is no true mystic.
In the mystic tradition, encountering the Divine is an experience so vast and overwhelming that it renders speech utterly useless—leaving the true seeker silent in awe. The poet suggests that divine reality transcends human vocabulary, so genuine realization naturally turns into quiet humility. Consequently, anyone who boasts about having comprehended God only proves they haven't; a loud claim of enlightenment is itself the clearest proof of ignorance.
