Simplified meaning
Holiness grows over time, just like how a tree grows when it's taken care of. Think about how a tree starts as a small seed, and with water, sunlight, and good soil, it slowly becomes a big, strong tree. In the same way, our goodness and spiritual life improve bit by bit as we learn, make better choices, and stay devoted. Just as a gardener needs patience and effort to help the tree grow, a person also needs to work consistently on their actions and thoughts to become holier. For example, volunteering to help others, being kind, and practicing forgiveness can slowly transform a person to become more godly. Like a tree that gives more fruit the more it grows, a person's character and goodness become richer with time and care.
