This quote highlights the idea that love should not be limited to mere superficial knowledge. It suggests that those who fall in love with the external beauty of a flower, without truly understanding its essence or significance, are missing out on the true depth of love.

It encourages us to delve deeper and appreciate love for its entirety, rather than superficial appearances.
