What happens when a seedbecomes a tree?
The seed has to die,
only then does it
become a tree.
... Don't cling to the seed,
because the seed is a bridge.
Help it to die, dissolve,
so that the inner life
and the seed becomes a great tree.
I don't want you
to become Christians
- that is useless,
that's a lie.
I would like you
to become Christs.
And you can become,
because you have the same seed.
- Osho, The Mustard Seed
The disciples said to Jesus:
Tell us what the Kingdom of Heaven is like.
He said to them: It is like a mustard seed -
smaller than all seeds,
but when it falls on the tilled earth
it produces a large tree
and becomes a shelter for all the birds of heaven.
- Gospel of Apostle Thomas
