Apples and Oranges

 It is not discrimination to see that apples and oranges are different and to separate them.  Some feel that the way to understanding is by debating, arguing and intellectualizing spiritual matters. Matters of awakening and awareness cannot be reached through this manner. When a mind tries to put something together by first cutting it to pieces, all that is left are the pieces. Pieces and parts of a debate that lead nowhere but in circles. It is probable that this merry go round of ideas will eventually frustrate the seeker, but at what price and expenditure of energy. The aware know which are apples and oranges, which go in one basket and the ones that go in another.  It is not discrimination but the understanding and awareness of the heart that some are apples and others are oranges and each have their place in respective baskets. In time they will both ripen and produce the juice of awareness, but for now they are apples and oranges.
