Let Goodwill Prevail

 Metta Sutta

As a mother, even at the risk of her own life, protects her child, her only child, let there be goodwill without measure between all beings. Let goodwill without measure prevail in the whole world, above, below, around, unstinted, unmixed with any feeling of differing or opposing interests. If a man remain steadfastly in this state of mind all the time he is awake, then is come to pass the saying, "Even in this world holiness has been found".
