From the Arabic Hidden Words of Baha'u'llah:

"O SON OF MAN!
"I loved thy creation, hence I created thee. Wherefore, do thou love Me, that I may name thy name and fill thy soul with the spirit of life."


Four kinds of love are described..

Love of God for man His creation..

Love of man or the creation for God..

thus love flows between God and His creation.

Love of God for God and

love of man for man...
