A peach should ripen on the tree; it's a fruit that should be picked
when the sun is upon it. Just as the sun falls on it, you come along,
pluck it and bite into it. Then it is absolute paradise.
There are two such fruits - peaches and golden green plums. It is
the same for both. You must take them warm from the tree, bite into
them, and you are filled with the taste of paradise.
Every fruit should be eaten in a special way.
At heart, this is the symbol of the earthly Paradise and the tree
of Knowledge: by biting into the fruit of Knowledge, one loses the
spontaneity of movement and begins objectivizing, learning, questioning.
So as soon as they ate of this fruit, they were full of sin.
I say that every fruit should be eaten in its own way. The being
who lives according to his own nature, his own truth, must spontaneously
find the right way of using things. When you live according to the
truth of your being, you don't need to learn things: you do them
spontaneously, according to the inner law. When you sincerely follow
your nature, spontaneously and sincerely, you are divine. As soon as you
think or look at yourself acting or start questioning, you are full of
sin. page 181 , Mother's Agenda , volume 1 , 19th July - 1958 |
