The writer behind the pen

The eleventh and early twelfth century Sufi philosopher Abu Hamid al-Ghazali made in interesting observation when he compared a physicist to "an ant who, crawling on a sheet of paper and observing black letters spreading over it, should refer to the cause to the pen alone". The pen prints the letters but there is a writer behind the pen.
