Goodness and Love

To love is to know Me, My innermost nature,
The truth that I am.

Bhagavad Gita 18.55

*

The inner self is the soil in which God has sown his likeness and image and
in which he sows the good seed, the roots of all wisdom,
all skills, all virtues, all goodness - the seed of the divine nature.
The seed of the divine nature is God's Son, the word of God.

The Bible

*

Love is the firstborn, loftier than the gods, the Fathers and men.
You, O Love, are the eldest of all, altogether mighty.
To you we pay homage!...
In many a form of goodness, O Love, you show your face.
Grant that these forms may penetrate within our hearts.
Send elsewhere all malice!

Atharva Veda 9.2.19-20, 25

*

In your goodness you have made us able to hear the music of the world,
a divine voice sings through all creations.

Hebrew prayer
