Depends what you actually mean by power. Is it an abstract relational currency, like money and political status? Or perhaps it’s a subjective feeling, like affection? If you have no power but no problems, do you have a problem? Obviously not. I personally think that the word ‘power’ is but one angle on the experience of awakening to the illusion of the subjective self. If you feel boundless, harmoniously connected with everything, is there any real threat? By definition, no, and that’s my understanding of the most fundamental type of power.

Power is the prerequisite to control.
If you have enough power, you can control everything.

Depends on what you mean by power. Power of authority, political power, physical strength, emotions? There’s multiple motivations for power, some good some bad, but I believe that there’s only one purpose for power and it’s control. If you don’t have the power to protect your stuff someone can take it from you, If you don’t have the power to protect yourself, you have no control over your security, if counties have no military power they’re vulnerable. This goes on and on and up and down the societal, and the political spectrum. Power is security to ensure what you claim to be yours remains.

It keeps the light on...some use it to douse othes light.
Power is energy...how best to direct for good alone is a human grace and dilemma.
How to direct or reserve it for no-good ends is our human dis-grace.

I think that relative power only represents an imbalance of influence. Power can't really have a purpose until it is applied to something. If you are asking why power would be sought, then I would say control. The desire for control is a purpose, but a neutral one. It is neither good nor bad in itself. The desire of a pilot to control (or to have power over) a careening aircraft full of passengers would be considered admirable, until you realize that she is purposely trying to fly them into a skyscraper, which would be considered evil.

Power in society, human or non-human, is a bit different than being in nature (e.g power of the sun). Nevertheless there are many kinds but they all share the same function - potential ground to the less powered ones. This resembles the potential energy in physics. When you have power, you potentially have more choices and freedom to practice your will. That is when you have one. When not, just like playing with fire, chances one would burn himself someday.
Superstitiously the ones with power are because they have accrued it for many previous lives - they deserve for it. How you exert your power will define your destiny, in lives to come.

How people react to gaining power and control, pretty much says everything about their true personality. Some people fairly and logically utilize their power, while others tend to abuse and overestimate their power. Not everyone handles power in the same way.

Power gives you an ability that others don't have. How you use it is a personal thing, solely for your self or to help others.

19And what is the excellence of the greatness of his power in us, by those things which we believe, according to the action of the immensity of his power, 20Which he performed in The Messiah and raised him from among the dead and set him at his right hand in Heaven, 21Higher than all Principalities, Rulers, Powers, and Dominions, and higher than every name that is named, not only in this universe, but also in the one that is coming. 22And he has put everything into subjection under his feet, and he has given him who is higher than all as The Head of the church, 23Which is his body and the fullness of him who fills all in all.

To get whatever you want. It can be for selfless or selfish intentions, but usually it's the latter based on what I've seen. Too much power given to one person will almost always lead to corruption though.
