The phrase \u201ctaste and see that the Lord is good\u201d is a direct quote from verse 8 of Psalm 34. This psalm is a song of thanksgiving in which David begins by praising God for His deliverance from fear and trouble. David then calls upon the people of Israel to remember that their God is both their Protector and Deliverer. David instructs and encourages the people. First, he implores them to seek the Lord and to know His goodness. Then David tells them that they will be blessed by trusting. This trust is produced by knowing God\u2019s goodness. The AVP is not just a house of speculative learning, but is intended to be a seat of genuine experiential wisdom and Knowledge, a true \u201cAdhyatma vidya\u201d(spiritual wisdom), born out of deep personal God-experience.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1095&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][vc_column_text] \u201cTaste and See\u201d (Ps.34:8) is the motto of this Institute of Spiritually.
