Then, O King! the God, so saying, Stood, to Pritha's Son displaying All the splendour, wonder, dread Of His vast Almighty-head.Out of countless eyes beholding, Out of countless mouths commanding, Countless mystic forms enfolding In one Form: supremely standing Countless radiant glories wearing, Countless heavenly weapons bearing, Crowned with garlands of star-clusters, Robed in garb of woven lustres, Breathing from His perfect PresenceBreaths of every subtle essence Of all heavenly odours; shedding Blinding brilliance; overspreading- Boundless, beautiful- all spaces With His all-regarding faces; So He showed! If there should rise Suddenly within the skies Sunburst of a thousand suns Flooding earth with beams undeemed-of, Then might be that Holy One'sMajesty and radiance dreamed of! . Edwin Arnold
About This Quote

Sun burst of a thousand suns, is a phrase that describes the grandeur and power of a God. The phrase is a reference to a religious text called the Bhagavad Gita, in which the god Vishnu says to the King Arjuna: "Then, O King! the God, so saying,Stood, to Pritha's Son displayingAll the splendour, wonder, dreadOf His vast Almighty-head." In this quote from The Bhagavad Gita, the concept of a person who stands beside you in times of great need is illustrated. The all-seeing eyes of God are what keep us alive and keep us strong. No matter what we go through our Creator never abandons us and always stands beside us and watches over us and guides us through life.
