- A common living being cannot extend its influence over another common living being by its all-pervasiveness, but the Supreme Supersoul, the SPG, is unlimitedly able to exert His influence over all places and all times and over all living beings
- A genuine relation of the living being with the Supreme Lord can take any form out of the five principal rasas, and it does not make any difference in transcendental degree to the genuine devotee
- All Vedic literature confirms that Narayana, or Krsna, is the cause of all causes. In the Brahma-samhita (5.1) also it is said that the Supreme Lord is Sri Krsna, Govinda, the delighter of every living being and the primeval cause of all causes
- As far as the beauty of the Lord (Krsna) is concerned, He has some special features that distinguish Him from all other living beings
- As the Supreme Lord, He can increase or decrease the duration of life of a living being. Thus the Lord conducted the Battle of Kuruksetra according to His own plan
B
E
- Even Sri Krishna cannot compel one for co-operation because every living being is given full chance of utilising independant views. The human form of life although temporary it has a great value for utilising for the service of the Supreme
- Every living being is related with the Supreme Lord by some sort of affectionate relation, either as servant or as friend or as parent or as an object of conjugal love
- Every one of them (living being) is a part and parcel of the Supreme Lord (BG 14.4), and the king, being the representative of the Supreme Lord, is duty-bound to give proper protection to every one of them
H
- He (Krsna) alone provides all necessities for all kinds of living beings. Thus He provided all facilities to fulfill the transcendental desires of His great devotee Sri Bhismadeva, who began to pray as follows
- He (Krsna) cannot be impersonal because He is the leader and Supreme Being amongst innumerable living beings
- He (Krsna) desires the mass of people to follow the right path of self-realization because He wants to maintain the creation, which enables the living beings to enter into the kingdom of God
- He (Krsna) is leader of all the living beings, as the king of the state rules both the prisoners and the free citizens. But His dealings are different in terms of devotee and nondevotee
- He (Krsna) is Paramatma, or the Supersoul, present in everyone as the supreme guidance, and therefore He is already the chariot driver and counsel of all living beings
- His (Sukadeva Gosvami) bodily hue resembled that of Lord Krsna, who is the supreme among the gods, demigods and all living beings
- His acts of evening prayer as stated herein must be followed by the living being, but it is not possible to follow His mountain-lifting or dancing with the gopis
I
- If we accept Krsna as friend, master, son or lover, we will never be frustrated. Every living entity has a specific relationship with Krsna, but at present this relationship is covered. As we advance in Krsna consciousness, it will be revealed
- In conformity with the Vedic hymns (nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam (Katha Upanisad)), the Personality of Godhead is more excellent than all other living beings within all the universes in the material world
- It is said in the Brahma-samhita that Lord Govinda, by His one plenary portion, enters into the halo of the universe & distributes himself as Paramatma, not only within the heart of every living being, but also within every atom of the material elements
- It is said, "The deluding energy is My (Krsna's) potency, and thus it is not possible for the dependent living beings to supersede the strength of the material modes. But those who take shelter in Me can cross over the gigantic ocean of material energy."
J
- Jnana, or knowledge, means knowledge of everything of Brahman, the Supreme; renunciation means detachment of material affection, and devotional service is the revival by practice of the original position of the living being
- Just as we are all living beings, Krsna, God, is also a living being. Krsna is not impersonal. Because we are all individual persons but our knowledge and opulence are limited
K
- Krsna appears before them (suffering living being) and renovates the principles of devotional service comprised of hearing, chanting, remembering, serving, worshiping, praying, cooperating and surrendering unto Him
- Krsna is naturally attractive for all living beings because He is the chief eternal amongst all eternals. He alone is the maintainer of the many eternals
- Krsna is the central pivot of living beings, and He is the all-attractive living entity or eternal form amongst all other living beings or eternal forms
- Krsna is the father of all living beings. Therefore He is the original living being of all other living beings. He is the original eternal enjoyer amongst all other enjoyers. Therefore no one can be His begetting father, as the ignorant may think
L
- Living being becomes entangled in the chain of birth and death by transmigrating into different bodies on different planets under the direction of the Supreme Lord (Krsna)
- Lord Sri Krsna is so attractive for the living beings, especially for the devotees, that it is impossible for them to tolerate separation. The conditioned soul under the spell of illusory energy forgets the Lord, otherwise he cannot
- Lord Sri Krsna is so merciful that He descends to reclaim suffering humanity and preaches Bhagavad-gita with the intense desire that all living beings give up all of their engagements and take shelter of His lotus feet
O
- Once this relation (with Krsna) is slightly revived, the conditioned soul at once becomes freed from the illusion of material energy and becomes mad after the association of the Lord
- One should know that the Lord (Krsna) is never on the level of the living beings, who are but expansions of His marginal potency
- One should not look for help from imperfect living beings or demigods, but one should look for all help from Lord Krsna, who is competent to save His devotees
- Ordinarily, a yogi or mystic living being is able to expand himself at utmost to tenfold expansions of his body, but the Lord can do so to the extent of as many thousands or infinitely, as He likes
S
- Since He (Krsna) sees even the abode where the collective living beings rest, He is the original Narayana
- Sri Krsna knows what the living beings have done for hundreds and thousands of past births, and He sees what they are doing now; therefore He knows the results of their present actions that will fructify in the future
- Sri Krsna, in His Paramatma feature, lives in the hearts of all living beings in both the transcendental and mundane creations. As the Paramatma, He witnesses all actions the living beings perform in all phases of time, namely past, present and future
T
- The all-good Personality of Godhead, being the creator of the universe, also plans for the good of all good living beings
- The difference between the two living beings is that the one, the Personality of Godhead, provides for all other living beings, and by knowing Him one can achieve eternal peace (Katha Upanisad)
- The feeling of such separation (living beings and Krsna) cannot be described, but it can simply be imagined by devotees only
- The good living beings are advised by the Lord to follow His good advice, and by doing so they become successful in all spheres of life
- The living being is allowed to make use of the property of the Lord for the service of the Lord
- The living beings are always dependent, and the ultimate dependable object is the Lord (Krsna) Himself
- The living beings can appreciate the qualities of the Lord as the ultimate goal, but they cannot attain the status quo of such equality
- The living beings who are in the material world are all disintegrated parts & parcels of the supreme whole, and they are no longer as important as the original parts & parcels. There are, however, more integrated living beings who are eternally liberated
- The Lord (Krsna) is cent percent perfect, whereas others, namely Narayana, Brahma, Siva, the demigods and all other living beings, possess only different percentages of such perfection. No one is equal to or greater than Him. He is unrivaled
- The Lord (Krsna) is great, and living beings are subordinate to Him. Therefore, the duty of the living being is just to serve Him only
- The Lord (Krsna) is Transcendence, and thus He is absolute in any stage. His anger is not like the anger of a conditioned living being within the modes of qualitative material nature
- The Lord (Krsna) out of His causeless mercy, because He is more merciful to the suffering living beings than they can expect, appears before them and renovates the principles of devotional service
- The Lord (Krsna) wants the suffering human beings to come back home, back to Him, and cease to suffer the threefold material pangs
- The Lord expands Himself in innumerable forms of Godhead and living beings, along with His different energies. But Sri Krsna is the original primeval Lord from whom everything emanates
- The Lord gives protection to all living beings because He is their supreme leader
- The Lord is kaivalya, and for Him there is no difference between matter and spirit because everything is created from Him. Therefore His quitting one sort of body or accepting another body does not mean that He is like the ordinary living being
- The stringent laws of nature, under the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, cannot be altered by any living entity. The living entities are eternally under the subjugation of the almighty Lord
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead, or He Himself, Krsna, the localized Supersoul, sits in the heart directing the living being. BG 1972 purports
- The total material substance, called Brahman, is the source of birth, and it is that Brahman that I impregnate, making possible the births of all living beings, O son of Bharata. BG 14.3 - 1972
- The Vedic knowledge was spoken by the Lord and first heard by Brahma, the first created living being within the universe
- The whole teaching of the Gita is targetted toward this end: that a living being, as His eternal servitor, cannot be separated from Krsna, and his sense of being an identity apart from Krsna is called maya. BG 1972 purports
- This form (two-handed or four-handed), which is cent percent spiritual, is the svarupa of the living being, and all the living beings who participated on the Battlefield of Kuruksetra, on both sides, attained their svarupa, as confirmed by Bhismadeva
- This material covering of the effulgent firmament is also something like a womb of the mother nature, and we are all put into the womb by the Lord, the father of all living beings
- This particular type of mercy (liberation from all material suffering) is bestowed upon the living being by the Lord (Krsna) in the form of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
W
- We should not think that because Krsna was born in India that the knowledge of BG is sectarian or that Krsna is a sectarian God. Indeed, in the Fourteenth Chapter Sri Krsna proclaims Himself to be the father of all beings
- When He (Krsna) descends on the material world by His causeless mercy to different living beings, He does so by His own potency. He is not subject to any condition of the material modes of nature, and He descends as He is originally
