Quote by Kahlil Gibran
Oh, heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.
Summary
This quote invites the heart to refute the belief that the soul fades away like the body. It draws upon the metaphor of a flower wilting but leaving behind a seed to emphasize that although the physical form may perish, the essence or spiritual core endures. It suggests that just as a seed brings forth new life, the soul holds the potential for continuation and transformation beyond earthly existence.
