“Look at the moon in the sky, not the one in the lake.”
— Rumi

Simplified Meaning:
When you see the moon, it's best to look at the real one in the sky and not its reflection in the water. This means you should focus on what is true and genuine, rather than getting distracted by an illusion or what seems like the real thing. For example, if you're looking for true happiness, don’t chase after things that seem nice but are not real. It could be like valuing true friends who care about you, rather than wanting to be popular with many people who don’t really know you. By staying focused on what is real and important, you can make better decisions and live a more meaningful life.
