Recieved this in chain email but loved it !!!
Why Coconut is part of many religions' rituals?
The fruit is unique in many respects. The sweet, nectar-like water that it holds, is pure and untouched by the human hand. It is drawn by the tree from its very base to its highest level. The coarsely-knit outer fibres of the coconut represent the jealousy, greed, lust, selfishness and other vices of man, which must be broken up and removed if one is to penetrate and reach the sweet untouched nectar of spiritual purity and bliss. No other fruit has the three distinct, eyes of the coconut. These symbolise the three eyes of man - the two physical eyes plus the third or 'inner eye'. Only this 'inner eye' can penetrate the false, outer facade and reach the ultimate truth. The composition of the coconut is characteristic of the three elements of man. The hard, outer shell, with its course fibres, represent the physical composition. The inner white fruit represents man's psychological element, and the untouched water signifies his spiritual composition.
