FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT, OR OF THE TREE OF LIFESymbolic of the higher emotions and faculties of the buddhic nature; the produce of Wisdom (buddhi) laid up for the soul when perfected. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." – Galatians v. 22, 23. The transmutations of the mental qualities through the operation of Buddhi, the Holy Spirit, produce the higher emotions,—love of truth and right, peace, patience, kindness, steadfastness, fortitude, faith, hope, compassion, moral courage, justice, gentleness, etc. The buddhic emotions in perfection are the “treasure in heaven,” “the inheritance of the saints,” the fruit of experience and aspiration below. "And on this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve manner of fruits, yielding its fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." – Rev. xxii. 2. The “river” of the water of truth encompasseth the “tree” of the out-growing Divine life. The “twelve manner of fruits” signifies twelve kinds of virtues or higher emotions. The “month” refers to a period within a cycle, or a stage of progress. The outspringing Divine life (the “leaves”) is for the perfecting of the organised qualities of the soul. |
