Hindu Tree of Life

Rig Veda samhita (the famous "riddle" of the birds) says: 1.164.20-22 "Two birds intimate companions, clasp the same tree; one of them eats the sweet fig; the other watches without eating. Where birds unblinkingly shriek for a share of the ambrosia, here the mighty guardian of the whole world, the inspired one, has entered me, the ignorant. In that very tree on which all the honey-eating birds settled down and breed, at the top, they say, is the sweet fig. One who does not knows not the Father will not attain it."
