Sai: As long as there is water, meaning worldly desire, in the nut, and as long as the meat clings to the shell, the nut will grow if planted. As the unplanted nut ages, the water disappears, the meat leaves the shell and the nut will not grow. The nut is chosen as a symbol because of the three eyes - the two physical eyes and the eye of wisdom (unopened). When the nut is broken, it symbolizes breaking the closed heart and asking the Lord to take the contents. This is "surrender". Nothing inside can be concealed and, once the nut is broken, it will never grow again.
