The commentary is not in the Bible. I think it is by Yukteshwar, guru of

Yogananda & others.

 

Here's the main one:

 

THE FIRST MORAL LAW

The first moral law of man was given in the Garden Of Eden by the Creator:

 

"Thou shalt not eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the

Garden."

 

COMMENTARY: In the Garden Of Eden we encounter God in His patriarchal

aspect, as the Lawgiver. The father aspect of God is oriented to Rule and

Law. This is why the male sexual form features a straightness, a hardness.

Father energy is like this: It doesn't ask a lot, and He is generous. But

what He asks is important. This trait can still be seen in most human

fathers. God is very mellow and kind when the law He gives is respected.

It's very easy to deal with Him when you respect that one thing. But if you

break it, everything goes out the window. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and

Eve had everything they could possibly want: all the splendor of nature,

abundant free time, etc. The only restriction they had was a small one,

concerning the fruit on one tree.

 

He asked the primal man to "renounce" that fruit; to practice discipline in

that.

 

COMMENTARY: God wasn't asking a lot, and Adam and Eve had a very cushy life.

But He was asking them to be Renunciates in at least that small thing. Here

we have the first "renunciation" and the first couple did not do very well

with it.

 

This law concerned the human sexual organs and human sexual feeling.

 

The garden: Man's body.

 

The tree: The human spine, with it's many nerve "branches."

 

The fruit in the midst of the garden: The sexual organs.

 

COMMENTARY: There are many takes on what the Garden of Eden Story means. In

fact, in a modern context, the story makes little sense. (Like: Why would

they be punished for eating of the "knowledge of good and evil?" Or, "What's

so bad about being a farmer?") You seldom hear this interpretation.
