1 Nephi 8:24-25

Here we have Lehi telling about multitudes of people who are pressing forward through the mists of darkness, and make it to the tree! They partake of the fruit and feel of its goodness. However, they do one thing that is so detrimental. They look around and see the world. They listen to their comments about doing something so good. And they follow them. They feel ashamed.

If the fruit is indeed analogous to the gospel, we who have partaken of it should not be ashamed of it. We must know that we need to have God pleased with us and not the world. Sometime we will have to make that choice.
