This is proof that He is all-pervasive and all-powerful and that I 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 cetananam.

The Supreme Personality of Godhead is Brahman or Parambrahman, the chief of all living entities.

Both the Supreme Brahman, or the Personality of Godhead, and the living entities are persons, but the Supreme Brahman is the predominator, whereas the living entities are predominated.
