Lots of information and other stuff seem to just come my way, so that I can use them for my articles, videos etc. The Brahma Kumaris song ‘Seed of the Living Tree’ was also something that came my way so that I can use it in an appropriate manner.
Though the arrangement seems to matched, the scenes in the video does not explain the actual meaning of what is being sung. For example, the Ocean in the song does not refer to the physical ocean (as it is represented in the video). The Ocean, in the song, refers to God and His Mighty Powers.
The scenes of the trees, in the video, seem to flow along well with the words “Seed of the living tree” (in the song). However, the living tree, in the song, is not the trees. The living tree represents the World Tree which provides a representation of what is happening in the Corporeal World within which the human souls live their life. A new World Tree is growing through the Confluence Age, now, as we make spiritual effort to transform the world into a divine world. Since the tree is growing, it is living. The Seed represents God. Through using God (as the Seed), the new World Tree grows (though the Golden Aged world is not visible as yet in the corporeal form). Since God is used for the new living tree to grow, God is referred to as the Seed of the Living Tree.
At one point in the song where it is sung “It’s Light shines endlessly” I happen to look up at the sun (from where light is shining). I actually did not plan it this way. My looking up had co-incided with the words without any planning on my part. I was so happy that it co-incided so beautifully. But after the video was posted, I began to realise that this scene might give the wrong impression, i.e. that the Light (mentioned in the song) was the sun’s light. Actually, the Light (in the song) refers to God’s Light shining endlessly on us. God is not the sun. He is just a Point of Light who can be seen as an enlarged Point of Light, in visions. We can also see Him as an enlarged Point of Light, for convenience. God is our Spiritual Sun, since His rays shine on us.
The up-ward climb, in the song, is not climbing up the stairs as was done in the video. The upward climb represents the spiritual climb, up the World Ladder, towards the creation of the new world. The upward climb refers to the spiritual strengthening of the soul.
The path to freedom, in the song, is not the path along the park. The path to freedom is the spiritual path which we are taking, in the Confluence Age, so as to reach the pure world of the Golden Age (where we enjoy freedom in every way).
In the song, as the words “new way” or “journey” is sung, the scene is of a pathway in the park. This was not what was meant in the song. The Confluence Aged Raja Yogi’s “new way” or “journey” is also not one among the trees. The “new way” and “journey”, mentioned in the song, is the spiritual journey.
In the video (Seed of the Living Tree) when it is sung “Patiently, He calls us. Etc”, it refers to how God is doing that now.
