FIG-TREE

A symbol of the Divine life in the scheme of things. The Tree of Life, which grows up from a small seed and forms a stem, branches, twigs, leaves, and finally fruit and seeds, all typifying the spiritual life which permeates in every part the structure of the universe and the soul.

“This everlasting, holy fig-tree stands with roots above, with branches downwards. Its root is that pure Self, that immortal principle.” — Katha Upanishad, VI. 1.
