Infinite Rose Garden

Love is the infinite rose garden;

Eternal Life the least of its blooms.
- Jalal-ud-Din Rumi
Garden of miracles,what
kind of garden are you?
- Jalal-ud-Din Rumi

What was whispered to the rose to break it
open last night was whispered to my heart.
- Jalal-ud-Din Rumi

There is no salvation for the soul

but to fall in love.
Only lovers can unite
out of these two worlds.
This was ordained in creation.
Only from the heart
can you reach the sky:
The Rose of Glory
can grow only from the heart.
- Jalal-ud-Din Rumi


Misery and joy

have the same
shape in this world:
You may call the
rose an open
heart or a
broken heart.
- Jalal-ud-Din Rumi
A Rose Garden


The whole world could be choked with thorns
A lover's heart will stay a rose garden.
The wheel of heaven could wind to a halt
The world of Lovers will go on turning
- Jalal-ud-Din Rumi
