A
- A devotee knows that various demigods are but different parts of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and that these parts need not be worshiped
- A part of the body cannot in itself be independently happy. It can only derive its happiness and pleasure out of serving the entire body. The Supreme Lord is the whole, and we are the parts, but we are all busily engaged in activities of self-interest
- A person (who has actually realized that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is situated in everyone's heart and that every living being is part of the Lord) sees all living beings equally and treats them equally, without discrimination
- Actually the living entities are not illusory, for they are parts of the superior energy of the Supreme Lord and do not have to be covered by maya if they do not want to be so
- All the demigods are different parts of the Lord, and if we offer service to them, we actually serve the Lord Himself
- All the incarnations of Godhead are plenary portions or parts of the plenary portions of the purusa-avataras, but the primeval Lord is Sri Krsna. He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the fountainhead of all incarnations
- All the innumerable universes are maintained only during the breathing period of Maha-Visnu, or Karanarnavasayi Visnu, who is only a plenary part of Govinda, the original Personality of Godhead Lord Krsna

- And when you have thus learned the truth, you will know that all living beings are but part of Me-and that they are in Me, and are Mine. BG 4.35 - 1972
- As a boy, He (Krsna) was playing the part of a cowboy. As the son of Nanda Maharaja, He discharged responsibility perfectly
- As a part of Him (God), one should concentrate on Him only, without deviation; otherwise one is sure to be overcome by the potencies of the material creation, one after another
- As confirmed in the prayers of Kunti (SB 1.8.19), nato natya-dharo yatha. The Lord was to play the part of a demon-killer, and a friend, son and brother to His devotees, and thus these devotees were all summoned
- As soon as one understands his relationship to God, he realizes universal brotherhood, for he understands that all men and animals - indeed, all life itself - are all parts of the supreme whole and are therefore all equal
- As stated before, the Supreme Lord is sac-cid-ananda-vigraha (Bs. 5.1), joyful by nature, and therefore He expands Himself by His different energies, parts, and differentiated and plenary portions
- As supplying food to the stomach enlivens the senses and limbs of the body, simply worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead through devotional service automatically satisfies the demigods, who are parts of that Supreme Personality
- As supplying food to the stomach enlivens the senses and limbs of the body, so simply worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead through devotional service automatically satisfies the demigods, who are parts of that Supreme Personality - SB 4.31.14
B
- Balarama's own expansion is called Maha-sankarsana, and His fragment, the purusa, is counted as a kala, or a part of a plenary portion
- Because He (the Lord) glances over material nature, there is undoubtedly activity on the part of the Supreme Lord, but He has nothing to do with the manifestation of the material world directly. BG 1972 purports
- Because the living entities are parts or samples of God, their qualities are not different from those of the Supreme Lord
- Both the mosquito and Lord Brahma are living entities in the material world; both are minute sparks and are part of the Supreme Lord
- By His marginal potency the Lord expands Himself as living beings who are part of Him, just as the sun distributes its rays in all directions
- By worshiping the demigods, one worships the different parts of the Lord, just as one might water the branches and twigs of a tree
D
- Demigods cannot rescue the living entity from the dangers of material existence. Like other living entities, the demigods are merely external parts of the SP of Godhead's transcendental body. As stated in the Vedic mantras, sa atma-angany anya devatah
- Devotees who worship the demigods, the different parts of the Lord, receive the benedictions they desire because the Lord is the original master of all benedictions. If anyone wants a particular benediction, for God to award it is not at all difficult
- Different plates of sacrifice correspond to the different parts of the body of the Lord's incarnation
E
- Ete camsa-kalah pumsah (SB 1.3.28). All other names of God are either parts of God or portions of parts. The parts are called amsa, and the portions of parts are called kalah

- Generally, the lower part of the body of the statue of the Lord is covered with yellow silk. That is the Vaikuntha dress, or the dress the Lord wears in the spiritual sky. This cloth extends down to the Lord's ankles
- God is an actual person, and the spiritual spark, being a fragmental part of Him, is also a person. If the father has personality and individuality, the son also has them; and if the son has them, we can conclude that the father has them
H
- Harih sarvesu bhutesu means that Hari is situated as Paramatma, not as atma, although atma is a part of Paramatma
- He is never Narayana, just as a molecular portion of sunshine is never the sun itself. The living entity is nothing but a fragmental part of the Absolute Truth; therefore at no stage of perfection can a living entity become the Supreme Personality of God
- His (God's) becoming the associate neighbor of the inhabitants of Vrndavana, as the son of Nanda-Yasoda, the friend of Sudama, Sridama and Madhumangala, or the lover of the damsels of Vrajabhumi, etc. That is part of His personal features
I
- I understand now that am simply put here, as if thrown into the Atlantic Ocean. I may not in any way identify with the Atlantic Ocean, but I am subject to the tossing of the ocean. Actually I am a spiritual spark, a fragmental part of You.
- If even an insignificant living entity who is but a part of the Supreme Lord can produce so much of a chemical, how much potency there must be in the body of the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- If the living entity is eternally a fragmental part, how can he become one with the whole? The part is never equal to the whole. That is an axiomatic truth. So it is a wrong conception to try to become equal to God

- In Bhagavad-gita the individual souls are also described as parts of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, or Supersoul, so why not accept that Dattatreya was one of those parts

- In the Second Chapter (of Bhagavad-gita) the Lord explains that a living entity is not the material body but is a spiritual spark, a part of the Absolute Truth. BG 1972 purports
- In the sunshine there are innumerable radiant molecules. Similarly, the fragmental parts of the Supreme Lord are atomic sparks of the rays of the Supreme Lord, called by the name prabha or superior energy. BG 1972 purports
- In the Vedanta-sutras or Upanisads there is only a hint of the confidential parts of His pastimes

M
- Maha-Visnu creates the entire material world with millions of His parts, energies and incarnations
- Maharaja Bharata thought that since the demigods were different parts of Vasudeva's body, He controls those who are explained in the Vedic mantras. By thinking in this way, Maharaja Bharata was freed from all material contamination

- Part of God means you have got little power of controlling. But that you are not absolute controller

- The living entities are endowed with limited potency although they are part of the Lord
- The living entities are parts of the Lord, but they are not the Lord Himself. The living entities in this material world are not inconceivable, but the Lord is
