Supreme Controller

In numerous places throughout the Gita, Lord Sri Krsna confirms that He is the supreme controller: "The whole cosmic order is under Me. By My will it is manifested again and again, and by My will it is annihilated at the end. This material nature is working under My direction, O son of Kunti, producing all the moving and unmoving beings, and by its rules this manifestation is created and annihilated again and again." (Bg. 9.8 & 10) Similarly, Īsopanisad testifies: isavasyam idam sarvam. "Everything animate or inanimate that is within the universe is controlled and owned by the Lord." (Mantra 1) Both material nature (apara prakrti) and the individual spirit souls (para prakrti) are emanations from the Lord, and therefore He is ultimately the controller of everything that exists. The first verse of Brahma-samhita establishes that this supreme controller is not an impersonal entity or concept but is a person having an eternal name, an eternal form, eternal attributes, and eternal pastimes.

The very name Krsna indicates His all-attractive qualities, which are indicated in the second line: sac-cid-ananda-vigrahaḥ. "He has an eternal, blissful, spiritual body."
