English term or phrase: Sacred Genius of Generosity
This is the heading of a paragraph dealing with how the energy of the sun is transformed into plants, animals and, ultimately, into human life, and how we wouldn't be able to exist if the sun didn't constantly give over a part of itself to nuclear reactions.

I'm not sure if this is a biblical term or just an esoteric expression ... but I'd be grateful for any ideas :-)

For the complete passage, please see:

German translation:Das heilige Feuer des Gebens
Explanation:
Mehr als mich laecherlich machen kann ich ja nicht- und das waere nicht das erste Mal. Aber so ganz dumm finde ich das garnicht.
InItalien sprechen wir sehr viel vom "sacro fuoco" - was m.M. nach absolut gleichzusetzen ist mit Genius.

Asker: Danke Eva Maria ! Du machst dich keineswegs lächerlich - "heiliges Feuer" finde ich sehr treffend!! Ich habe in meiner Übersetzung "heiliges Feuer der Großzügigkeit" verwendet.

Reference: Not a Bibilical Quote

Reference information:
As far as I know it is not a biblical quote. Googling the term without "sacred" brings up a frequently referenced book by a Christian (see first reference) and some lyrics from Bob Dylan ...

I would just translate it word for word.
