Divine Love !

In the beginning was the Word, says one account of Genesis. Another one talks of Big Bang at the beginning of creation.Do we need to necessarily have a graven image in front of us or a mantra in the mind to be able to get into that particular groove.The Bible's lauding and approving of "eat and drink... enjoying good in his labour" also has to be read with its observations on discipline and self-control (Proverbs: 25,28, also in 1,7; 6,23; 10,17; 13,18 and 25,28). The Bible too notes that "there is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink" (Ecclesiastes: 2,24, similar message also in 5:18; 9:7 and 8:15). This epic, however, notes, that one can only "enjoy good in his labor" — the concept of earning this through right means, as specified in 9:7, as above.

Did Jesus himself needed to ask forgiveness for not knowing what his people was doing when he said, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do," when he was dying a horrific death on the cross? Yes, the Romans ultimately turned out to be the losers even as they were being prayed for by Christ while they were busy killing him, but it immediately opens that hairy debate again: an eye for an eye or turn the other cheek?
A moment's reflection would show that in the wild, and especially before we ourselves became sapient hominids, neither an eye extraction process nor a cheek-turning man would have had any chance of success.Of course, the Romans didn't need to be forgiven and neither did Jesus, for, by that time, a massive deposit of civilisation and morality had overwhelmed them that, till today, our ancient evolutionary mechanisms have never completely come to terms . As a result, people have to struggle to do good or their best in their own way. 

For God is Love and Love is Divine. or God is Divine and Divine is Love.
