The eastern symbol for the divine is the lotus.
This was so in Asia and Egypt.
The western symbol for the divine is the rose.
When a sage reaches enlightenment he begins to see visions of lotus flowers.
A saint sees visions of roses.
It has been said that flowers exist in both worlds.
The beauty of the lotus and the rose gives us a glimpse of the beauties of heaven.
And these beauties are a product of Love.
