FashIoned Out Of Good Deeds and IntentIons

God saith that the ‘wall of Paradise is not lifeless and ugly like (other) walls; Like the door and wall of the body, it is (endowed) with intelligence: the house (Paradise) is living since it belongs to the King of kings. Both tree and fruit and limpid water (take part) with the in habitant of Paradise in conversation and discourse, 

Because Paradise has not been fashioned out of (the builder’s) materials; nay, but it has been fashioned out of (good) deeds and intentions. 

This edifice has been (made) of dead water and earth, while that edifice has arisen from living piety. This (edifice) resembles its foundation (which is) full of defect, and that (edifice resembles) its foundation, which is knowledge and action. 

Both throne and palace and crown and robes are (engaged) in question and reply (conversation) with the inhabitant of Paradise. The carpet (there) is folded without the farrash (carpet- spreader); the house (Paradise) is swept without the broom.

The Masnawi 4, 475
