Abstract

Diffusion of Divine love in existential layers of mankind is a truth testified by the holy verse of Covenant. The verse is an analogy, nor as statement of confession of human reason to the Unity of God, nor as an account of event that took place in the realm of spirit. Rather this verse is an indication of inner state of each man whose existential needle is directed to God, though rusts of sins may prevent realization of this spiritual innate journey.
Having provided conceptual analysis for primordial nature and explanation of rival theories, the present article is to present a new interpretation of the Covenant verse and formulation of the truth in question.
