“O scion of Bharata, you should understand that | am also the knower in all
bodies, and to understand this body and its owner is called knowledge. That is My
opinion.” (Bg. 13.3)

The Supreme Personality of Godhead in His Paramatma feature is expanded
everywhere. The Brahma-samhitéa says, andantara-stha-paramanu-caydntara-
stham: by virtue of His all-pervasive nature, the Supreme Lord is within the uni-
verse as well as within all elements of the universe. He is even within the atom. In
this way the Supreme Lord Govinda is all-pervasive. On the other hand, the living
entities are very, very small. It is said that the living entity is one ten-thousandth of
the tip of a hair. Therefore the living entity is localized. Living entities rest on the
Brahman effulgence, the bodily rays of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

TRANSLATION

“Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu purified me by taking away my deerskin. This is
proof that He is all-pervasive and all-powerful and that | am subordinate to
Him.

PURPORT

Brahmananda Bharati herein asserts that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the
Supreme Brahman and that he is the subordinate Brahman. This is confirmed in
the Vedas: nityo nityanam cetanas cetandnam. The Supreme Personality of God-
head is Brahman or Pararn Brahman, the chief of all living entities. Both the
Supreme Brahman, or the Personality of Godhead, and the living entities are per-
sons, but the Supreme Brahman is the predominator, whereas the living entities
are predominated.
