Summary

This quote suggests that humans are naturally inclined towards a love for goodness and morality, although this inclination is often overlooked or subdued. While individuals are born with physical passions, there exists a hidden but inherent desire for goodness within their consciousness. However, the quote acknowledges that in the current state of the world, this innate inclination towards goodness often clashes with the chaotic and disordered nature of human existence. Thus, it emphasizes the need for divine assistance to overcome the prevailing discord and bring harmony back to humanity.
