Higher Self: Garden
The Garden represents the state of Prolonged Presence, where the fruits of Right Effort are enjoyed.
The Garden will be the place of rest for the one
who has restrained the lower self from passion.
[The Koran]
A pure soul can truly be called...‘an enclosed garden,’....
[The Philokalia, Theodoros the Great Ascetic]
And Arjuna beheld celestial gardens—
the favorite resort of the celestial damsels.
It was a region for the virtuous alone,
and not for those who had turned their back on the field of battle.
[Mahabharata]
The Garden of Immortality is promised unto those who ward off evil;
it will be their reward and journey’s end.
[Koran 25: 5]
Just as the gardener who does not weed his garden chokes his vegetables,
so the intellect that does not purify its thoughts is wasting its efforts.
[Thalassios the Libyan]
Take a stroll in your inner garden.
[Mohammad]
