Theme Analysis
The philosophical essence of this category establishes that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa or Viṣṇu, is the absolute and ultimate master of all material and spiritual energies. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that the fundamental distinction between God and the living entity is that God is the eternal master and the living entity is the eternal servant. The suffering of material existence begins when the conditioned soul falsely claims proprietorship and artificially attempts to imitate the all-powerful master. Conversely, true liberation and transcendental peace are achieved when the living entity abandons the illusion of independence and joyfully accepts their constitutional position as the unmotivated servant of Bhagavān. Furthermore, approaching the Lord with material desires, hoping to make Him an order-supplier, is a flawed approach; one must approach God with the sincere desire to serve His supreme will.
- The Master of All Energies: The Supreme Lord is the original creator, maintainer, and master of the inconceivable material and spiritual potencies. He is never controlled by the external energy; rather, He dictates its actions.
- The Eternal Relationship: The constitutional relationship between the Supreme Lord and the living entity is that of master and servant. This relationship is eternal, natural, and full of transcendental joy when properly realized.
- The Illusion of Independence: Material conditioning is characterized by the false, puffed-up consciousness that the individual soul is the master or proprietor. Imitating the supreme master is the root cause of illusion.
- The Proper Approach: To make real spiritual advancement, one must approach God as the master to be served, not as a servant to supply material demands. Only a sincere, unmotivated servant can fully satisfy the Lord.
- Explore the synthesized essence of this category in this Vanipedia article: God Is The Master - The Supreme Controller of All Energies.

A
- A common brain in the conditioned state cannot conceive of how He (the Supreme Personality of Godhead) is the master of both manifest and potential powers, and how contradictory potencies can abide in Him
- A common brain in the conditioned state cannot conceive of how these inconceivable energies abide in the Supreme Personality of Godhead, how He exists in His innumerable forms as the master of both spiritual and material energies
- A saintly person never takes credit for such actions because he knows very well that when wonderful things are done on his behalf by the grace of the Supreme Lord, all credit goes to the master and not to the servant
- After surpassing the brahminical perfection, one has to become a devotee of the Lord so that His loving affection in the form of proprietor, master, friend, son and lover can be transcendentally achieved
- Although Lord Siva is never defeated by anyone, when defeated by Lord Visnu he felt proud that he had such an exalted and powerful master
- Although the servants of Lord Visnu, Narayana, in the Vaikuntha planets are equally situated with the Lord, the devotees there know very well that the Lord is the master whereas they are servants
- As it is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita, after many, many births the knowledge comes to the conditioned soul that Vasudeva is great, He is master, and He is Lord
- As soon as a devotee wants the Supreme Personality of Godhead to be his order supplier, the Lord immediately refuses to become the master of such a motivated devotee
- As stated in Bhagavad-gita (7.20), kamais tais tair hrta jnanah prapadyante 'nya-devatah. "Those whose minds are distorted by material desires surrender unto demigods." A demigod cannot become master, for the real master is the Supreme Personality of God
- As stated in Bhagavad-gita (BG 13.15), nirgunam guna-bhoktr ca: although the Lord is not attached to the external energy, He is nonetheless the master of it
H
- He (Pururava) had so much lust in his heart that even while performing yajna he thought of Urvasi, instead of thinking of the master of yajna, Yajnesvara, Lord Visnu
- He (the Lord) is always prepared to give shelter to the surrendered soul, and anyone so fortunate as to look upon Him feels all satisfaction. The Lord is always worthy to be the master of the surrendered soul, for He is the ocean of mercy
- He (The Supreme Lord) is the Supersoul, the master of all transcendental qualities, and He is the master of this cosmic manifestation in regard to bondage to the conditional state of material existence and liberation from that bondage
- He (The Supreme Personality of Godhead) is the origin of material creation, and it is due to Him only that everything changes. He is the protector of religion and annihilator of all sinful activities. He is the master of all opulences - Svet. Up. 6.6
- He is the master of all planets. This is not accepting blindly. God has given you the power of reason, the power of arguing - but don't argue falsely. If you want to know the transcendental science you must surrender
I
- I shall simply be Your eternal servitor. And I shall be very cheerful, for I have my master. - All others who are not in Krsna consciousness are guideless. They are their own guides
- If you (Lord Kamadeva) were not the only husband, You would be afraid of others. Therefore persons learned in all Vedic literature accept only Your Lordship as everyone's master, and they think no one else a better husband and protector than You
- In the liberated stage the conception is that God is the master and that all living entities, being servants of God, are one
- In the Vaikuntha world there is no question of fighting. There is no enmity. Everyone accepts the Supreme Personality of Godhead as the protector, as the master, as the Lord, and they serve faithfully. So there is no question of fighting
L
- Lord Brahma asked Prahlada Maharaja to go forward and pacify the Lord's anger. Prahlada Maharaja, being confident of the affection of his master, Lord Nrsimha-deva, was not afraid at all
- Lord Visnu is the master of this material world, and there is no question of His being controlled by material nature. Consequently, He is addressed here (in SB 4.20.27) as purusottama, the best of all living entities - namely visnu-tattvas & jiva-tattvas

- Narayana is the master of Laksmi, the goddess of fortune, and only fools think that He somehow becomes poverty-stricken

- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu danced down the main road in great ecstasy before Lord Jagannatha, the master of Nilacala, who was sitting on His car
- Sridhara Svami comments, bhagavattvaya bhagavat-saman aisvaryaya. Bhagavattva, becoming as good as the SP of Godhead, does not mean becoming one with Him or equal to Him, although in the spiritual world the servant is equally as opulent as the master
- Srila Yamunacarya has recited in his Stotra-ratna: By serving You constantly, one is freed from all material desires and is completely pacified. When shall I engage as Your permanent eternal servant and always feel joyful to have such a fitting master?
T
- The central figure of creation & of enjoyment is the Supreme Lord, & the living entities are cooperators. The relation is also like that of the master and the servant. If the master is fully satisfied, then the servant is satisfied. BG 1972 Introduction
- The conditioned living entity has the defect of being always fearful, but simply by the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he can rid himself of this defect of material life. Therefore the Lord alone can be addressed as master

- The Lord and the living entity are not equal, for the Lord is always the master, and the living entity is always the servant

- The relationship between master and servant, pervertedly reflected, continues only for so long as the master can pay the servant. As soon as the payment stops, the relationship also stops
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead is the master and enjoyer of the results of all sacrifices, and He is the supreme spiritual master as well
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead is the master of those who observe vows and austerities, and it is He who bestows benedictions upon them. He is worshipable for the devotee throughout the devotee's life, for He never breaks His promises
- There are others, namely jnanis and yogis, who want the benediction of merging into the existence of the Lord. This is called kaivalya. The Lord is therefore addressed as kaivalya-pati, the master or Lord of the benediction known as kaivalya
- These (commentaries on the Vedanta-sutra written by the four sampradaya-acaryas) are based upon the philosophy that the Lord is the master and that all living entities are His eternal servants
