, Your ability to pervade and control everything.
You are the ultimate Lord. The way You described Yourself - I firmly believe that it is a statement of fact, ‘told as it is’.
You are the Best Among Men, an ocean of affection towards people who have taken refuge in You. I would like to see and fully realize Your supreme might , Your unique character of having lordship over the whole universe, the way in which You protect it, create and destroy it, support and nourish it.
I desire to see Your form having all favorable qualities, ultimate in its supremacy and beauty. It is unlike anything other than Yourself.
