Hi, Idols are quite specific. But your will is universal, being limitless. And so it has no form, nor is content for its expression in the terms of form. 'Content' here relates to 'containing' rather than to 'contentment / happiness'. The expression of your will is not contained in the terms of form. Crudely put, 'Your will is formless'. It can't be represented in the simple form of an idol. It's a theological statement, of course. Best wishes, Clive
