The scriptures reveal a profound truth about the Bhagavan- The Supreme Lord. The Lord is Ṣaḍguṇa Sampūrṇa—perfect and complete in the six divine qualities of Jñāna (Knowledge), Bala (Strength), Aiśvarya (Prosperity), Vīrya (Heroism), Tejas (Radiance), and Śakti (Power).

Even when its flame flickered, it refused to rest. One evening, as dawn approached, the lamp noticed something
