the meaning of "mix with the infinite" from a poem

"If I hold you with my emotions,
you'll become a wished-for companion.

If I hold you with my eyes,
you'll grow old and die.

So I hold you where we
both mix with the infinite."

__________________________________________________
You must look at the entire poem to make sense of the last lines.
He is saying that "holding" - or "loving" someone, emotionaly or visually will not be lasting or will fade with time.

So he will "hold" you (love you in his mind ) where neither time nor space nor limits exist - in the infinite.

Rumi was an advocate for living in the "now"

Thank you for printing this today. I loved seeing this!
