The Bhagavad Gita1456
lo! all that thou hast desired, or hoped for, or even imagineth, that shalt
thou see within Me. But not with thine natural human eye see these things,

wondrous beams of effulgent radiance and glorious brilliancy. Difficult
indeed is it to see Thee at all, for the light, like unto the rays of a millionmillion
suns, multiplied and magnified a million-million times, dazzleth
even the divine eye with which thou hast endowed me. Verily, indeed, art
