Con il "Giardino", continuano le lezioni di vita del Profeta. In questo, come in altri scritti di Gibran, si parla di amore spirituale. Ecco una delle frasi più intense del libro: "La distanza che vi è tra voi e il vicino che non vi è amico è in verità più grande di quella che è tra voi e la persona che amate e che vive al di là delle sette terre e dei sette mari. Giacché nel ricordo non vi sono lontananze; e nell'oblio vi è un abisso che né la voce né l'occhio potranno mai accorciare."

Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) was a Lebanese American of Assyrian descent, an artist, poet and writer. He was born Gibran Khalil Gibran in Lebanon (at the time a Syrian Province of the Ottoman Empire) and spent much of his productive life in the United States. While most of Gibran's early writings were in Syriac and Arabic, most of his work published after 1918 was in English. Gibran also took part in the New York Pen League, also known as the "immigrant poets" (al-mahjar), alongside other important Lebanese American authors.

Gibran considered The Prophet his greatest achievement. He said: "I think I've never been without The Prophet since I first conceived it in Mount Lebanon. It seems to have been a part of me....I kept the manuscript four years before I delivered it over to my publisher because I wanted to be sure, I wanted to be very sure, that every word of it was the very best I had to offer."
