As I was reading the excellent write-up titled "Odious comparison" by 
SrI Sadagopan Iyengar, I was reminded of Lord kRshNa's description of 
Himself in chapter 10 of bhagavad gItA starting with Slokam 19 and 
going up to Slokam 42. He concludes by stating - "But of what use to 
you is all this extensive knowledge, O arjuna? I stand sustaining 
this whole universe with a fragement of My power". Significantly, He 
starts the description with "nAstyanto vistarasya me" - There is no 
end to the extent of my vibhUti-s. If we can meditate on Him as the source of the best of everything that exists, will ever exist, and has ever existed, we have a good model of Him.
