“In
that story, the householder planted good seed; we are undoubtedly his
household. When the enemy had observed the men sleeping, he sowed the
useless weeds amongst the nourishing crops, putting the tares in the midst
of the grain. And the seeds sprouted alongside each other, for it was
inevitable that the seed planted along with the grain would also sprout
along with it.... We suppose that the Scripture is representing those
impulses of the soul by the healthful seeds. If only each of them had been
cultivated for good it would undoubtedly have produced the fruit of virtue
for us. But since error in the judgment of the good has been sown along
with these impulses, that which alone is truly good by nature has also been
overshadowed by the plant of deceit growing up with it.... This is where the
impulse of desire has been led by misjudgment concerning the good... The
other emotions in the same way have produced worse plants instead of better.
For this reason the wise farmer allows the weed which has grown amongst the
seed to remain there, taking care that we do not remove the better part as
we might if desire was altogether uprooted as well as the useless growth.
For if this should happen to our human nature, what is there which would
raise us towards union with the heavenly. So you see that the farmer leaves
the bastard seeds in us, not intending that they should permanently dominate
the more honourable sowing, but that the field itself, for this is his
figurative name for the heart -- through the natural power residing in it
(which is nous, reason) -- should dry up the one part of the plants, but
render the other part fruitful and thriving.”
