| Fruit will be eaten when ripe. If it's too early it's green, sour, and the seed is not fully developed. If it's late the fruit will rot, stink and the seed will be damaged. When the fruit is ripe then eat it. It is pleasing in smell, colour and taste. It is good when it’s in the mouth and in the belly. The potentially evil elements are transformed, the seeds are blessed and will upon passing through the body survive to become new trees bearing fruit. The world and the three realms is such a fruit. It cannot be eaten until it is ripe. The cultivators are seeds. The evil elements are inter-inhibition. If the fruit is left for too late they would destroy it, if it was eaten early the seeds wouldn't be ready. Earth has seasons and so does Heaven. When a tree is producing fruit the last stage is crucial. The tree will place all of it's energy into perfecting it's seed. It is willing to sacrifice it's life for the seed. |
