1268 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 3, Ch. 29
with the purpose that people would call Him Krsna, the Supreme
Personality of Godhead; rather, He preached that Krsna is the Supreme
Personality of Godhead and should be worshiped as such. A devotee who
is a most confidential servant of the Lord never does anything for his per-
sonal account, but does everything for the satisfaction of the Supreme
Lord. It is clearly stated, therefore, mayi sannyasta-karmanah. The devotee
works, but he works for the Supreme. It is also stated, mayy arpitatmanah:
“He gives his mind unto Me.” These are the qualifications of a devotee,
who, according to this verse, is accepted as the highest of all human
beings.

manasa—with the mind ; etani—to these; bhittani—living entities; pranamet
—he offers respects; bahu-manayan—showing regard; ifvarah—the controller;
jiva—of the living entities; kalaya—by His expansion as the Supersoul;
pravistah—has entered; bhagavan—the Supreme Personality of Godhead;
iti—thus.
TRANSLATION
Such a perfect devotee offers respects to every living entity because he
is under the firm conviction that the Supreme Personality of Godhead
has entered the body of every living entity as the Supersoul, or controller.
PURPORT
A perfect devotee, as described above, does not make the mistake of
thinking that because the Supreme Personality of Godhead as Paramatma
has entered into the body of every living entity, therefore every living
entity has become the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is foolish-
ness. Suppose a person enters into a room; that does not mean that the
room has become that person. Similarly, that the Supreme Lord has
entered into each of the 8,400,000 particular types of material bodies
does not mean that each of these bodies has become the Supreme Lord.
