Greetings,
The Nazarite vow is a form of separation from this materialistic, shallow world. InI do find it hard to follow the vow in the terms of not eating or partaking from the vine, it seem like everything made today has some grape seed or oil extract in it, but nevertheless, the symbolic message of the vow is the power, it tells for one to return back to the natural state yuh know before there was razors, mirrors, clothes, things that alter InI mind to worry about, the vanities yuh know. It tell i not to worry and live for Jah, the one who will provide for all, like how him privde for the birds and the plants while they remain seperated unto him. As a yute InI used to wear braids, styled dreads and put sportin waves inna I hair, even was a barber while I watch I father locks grow. I remember when I father asked I at 15 that, "I thought you will lock yuh hair by now and I said, that Ini not ready to join the cause'. I knew that life for I will haf to change, but now InI accept it wit open arms to be in this yuh world but not of it with joy. Blessed love
