Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 1, Ch. 15]
PURPORT
Factually for a living being there is no one dearer than the Lord. The Lord expands Himself by innumerable parts and parcels as  svāmśa  and  vibhinnāmśa . Paramātmā is the  svāmśa  part of the Lord, whereas the  vibhinnāmśa  parts are the living beings. As the living being is the important factor in the material body, or without the living being the material body has no value, similarly without Paramātmā the living being has no  status quo . Similarly, Brahman or Paramātmā has no  locus standi  without the Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. This is thoroughly explained in the  Bhagavad-gītā  (Bg. 15.18). They are all interlinked with one another or interdependent factors; thus in the ultimate issue the Lord is the  summum bonum  and therefore the vital principle of everything.
