The symbol in this and also some other paintings is taken from a carpet from Tabriz, Iran. 

A cup, full of water, with abundant growth coming out of the water, and extended roots reaching out through the bottom of the cup. I was trying to find the meaning of this symbol but had no luck.

But then just recently my Persian friend from Sarajevo has explained to me that the big flowers are the Shah Abbas tulips in open blossom. The cup represents a quality of a Soul in Love that has within itself a sea of mercy, love and goodness.
