The mental powers (balāni) are thus called because “they overpower opposing mental states”.Or, as the commentaries explain: they are powerful in the sense of being unshaken (akampanaṭṭhena) by opposition.
I do dimly perceive that whilst everything around me is ever changing, ever dying, there is underlying all that change a living power that is changeless, that holds all together, that creates, dissolves and re-creates. That informing power or spirit is God .
To me God is Truth and Love; God is ethics and morality; God is fearlessness. God is the source of Light and Life and yet He is above and beyond all these. God is conscience .
