In meditation practice we are cultivating a mind that knows rather than judges. In other words, it has enough space to hold what is happening, without it triggering reactions or negative stories about how our lives are. I find the image in this passage to be a help toward developing that:
As a bee gathering nectar
does not harm or disturb
the colour and fragrance of the flower;
so does a wise person move
through the world.

This is a lovely post. I make a calendar each year with my flower photos and this was rhe quote I used for one of the photos In the calendar the year before last. Next year Im hoping to accompany each photo with my own words. Projects like this are good for my well being. If you ever run out of flower photos feel free to ask and you can have mine with pleasure.
