'Grass' is natural truth, and 'flower of the field' is spiritual truth, as in Isaiah 40:5, 6. Green grass, in the Word, signifies the good and truth of the church, and of faith, which first springs up in the natural man. This is also signified by 'herb in the field.' Grass and the pulse of the herb, as in Psalm 32:2, signify what is most vile. Grass signifies science from a spiritual origin, or that by which spiritual truth is confirmed. 'Reeds and rushes' signify science from a sensory origin, or the things which confirm the fallacies of the senses, as in Isaiah 25:7. This science, considered in itself, is only a part of the lowest natural degree, which may be justly called material and bodily, in which there is little or no life. Green grass also signifies that which is alive with man. 'Grass burnt up' signifies the things which are dead in him. Grass signifies the scientific principle. Just as green grass serves animals for support, spiritual truth serves men for spiritual nourishment.

A company might have executives setting policy and strategy, engineers designing products, managers handling personnel and others handling various functions. They all do different things -- but if they're doing them with a shared underlying purpose, the company -- and the individuals in it -- will likely be successful. The Lord wants all human society to function in a similar way. We have different skills and individual loves, but if we all share a mutual love -- a love of serving others -- then society will function as one, will be a reflection of heaven and will be a good receptacle for the Lord's love. This can also happen within each of us, as we unify our talents and ideas around a central love. And in an abstract sense, it illustrates how a wide collection of varying ideas can be unified around a shared good intention. That is the kind of love pictured when “one” is used in the Bible, either as a specific number or in the sense of several people or objects “being one.” In more casual references -- when used to identify a specific person or object -- the meaning is relatively literal, and is connected to that person or object.
