Many reviewers say this book has deep meanings, but not one person has indicated what those deep meanings are. What do you think the author was trying to tell the reader?

The most touching point for me is the moment they find the well with their heart. Please allow me to translate the most touching words after finding the well into Chinese:
1. " Its sweetness was born of the walk under the stars, the song of the pulley, the effort of my arm. It was good for the heart, like a present." 井水的甘甜，来自于沙漠星空下披星戴月的跋涉、来自于井口滑轮欢快的转动声、来自于挥动手臂所付出的能量。于口于心，这些都是最珍贵的礼物。
2. "The men raise five thousand roses in the same garden, and they do not find in it what they are looking for. And yet what they are looking for could be found in one single rose, or in a little water."纵有五千玫瑰，世人仍未寻得所需。其所寻者，实已在一花一露之中。(less)
