@asadchughtai, the garden metaphor is used often when working to cleanse the mind/body of ignorance and negativity so we can see reality without the veil of conditioning. You have to get out there and work the dirt, plant the seeds, tend to the seedlings, weed, harvest and preserve.

When I go work on my garden, pulling weeds I see myself pulling out the roots of ignorance. My favorite part of gardening is planing and weeding....hahaha

I just ordered my seeds ;-)
