4. The Desire for Power
Almighty Power
Although outwardly we see different powers, one greater than the other, either in harmony or in conflict, limited powers working for or against one another, yet by inward realization one finds that there is but one power.
In support of this, the Qur'an says that nothing is powerful except it shows the same one Power, the Power of the All-powerful. In other words, in the limited aspect which we see, and in the Absolute Being, there is only one Power. It is, therefore, that there is no might to stand against that Power we call Almighty Power, that there is no power to work against it; that all aspects of strength and power are from it, and in it, and will be assimilated by it in the end.
