ABSTRACT: This article examines ancient sacred texts that are of interest due to the similarities in their perspectives and reasoning regarding their purpose. Despite differences in their origins and their affiliation with distinct religious and cultural traditions, the texts under consideration express similar moral principles. The material examined includes the Bhagavad Gita, a monument of ancient Indian religious and philosophical thought in Sanskrit, and the Quran, the holy book of Islam. The aim of this study is to identify the ideological and thematic orientation of the semantic meanings in these texts. The study aims to identify the fundamental moral criteria within the context of faith that must align with the principles of human ethics, and to clarify the semantic meanings of key concepts that are expressed in different languages but share a common code accessible to the reader or listener regardless of language or culture. Particular attention is paid to the philosophical interpretation of the semantic and stylistic levels of the texts. The analysis shows that in the Bhagavad Gita and the Quran, the identified moral concepts and their linguistic context are based on enduring human characteristics; they are similar and identical, allowing us to confidently assume that they originate from a single source.
