Description

• We never offer the coconut as it is.
• We remove the fibre that covers it and offer the fruit that is free from all the external fibre.
• Only then is it possible to break the coconut.
• By breaking the coconut, the water in it flows out.
• The heart is the coconut and it is covered by the fibre of desire.
• The water that flows out is the 'Samskara' or purification. The fibres on the surface are the desires.
• We must strip the heart of all desires and offer the core without the fibre. It then becomes an offering to God.
• If we plant a coconut as it is, in course of time and by watering it, another plant will grow out of it.
