Mantra Fifteen of The Sri Isopanisad
hiranmayena patrena
satyasyapihitam mukham
tat tvam pusann apavrnu
satya-dharmaya drstaye
Srila Prabhupada’s Translation
O my Lord, sustainer of all that lives, Your real face is covered by Your dazzling effulgence. Kindly remove that covering and exhibit Yourself to Your pure devotee.
My Notes
-Beyond the material covering
-Unlimited
-"The light of all lights"
-In which there us no need for sunshine, moonshine, fire or electricity for illumination.
-Spreads throughout material and spiritual skies
However, the Bhagavad-gita (12.5) forewarns us of the impersonal aspect of the lord, brahmajyoti, with the following words:
"For those whose minds are attached to the unmanifested, impersonal feature of the supreme, advancement is very troublesome. To make progress in that discipline is always difficult for those who are embodied."
Therefore we can only pray for darshan of the lord, hoping he will be merciful and bless us with passage Back To Godhead.

My Notes
- Unless this covering is removed so one can percieve the real face of the Personality of Godhead, factual realization of the Absolute Truth can never be achieved.
-Beyond the material covering
