God is like a tree. A tree has many parts. There are leaves, branches, twigs, bark, roots, as well as flowers and fruit. Some even have thorns. God is the entire tree. You and I and all other creation may be likened to a leaf, or a twig or even a cell, a fragment of bark. But God is the entire tree. The leaves may fall, flowers and fruit come and go, but the tree is always there.
The student spoke up, “Yes Master I understand your meaning. We are a part of God. Each is a part of the whole but the whole is God.”
