Text 128] Ramananda Raya Instructs Pradyumna Misra 183

PURPORT

The living entity is an ever-conditioned servant of the material energy, whereas
Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is master of the material energy.
How, then, could they be on an equal level? There can be no comparison be-
tween them. His Lordship is always in a happy condition of transcendental bliss,
whereas the conditioned soul is always unhappy because of his contact with the
material energy. The Supreme Lord controls the material energy, and the material
energy controls the conditioned souls. There is therefore no comparison between
the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the ordinary living entities.

house of all kinds of tribulations.’ ’’
