Imagine the Supreme Lord. What gives Him the greatest pleasure? Giving pleasure to His parts and parcels. Although He is Supreme, He likes to become subordinate to the desires of His devotees. This is His greatest quality. Not that He is the Supreme controller, not that He is Supreme proprietor. That makes Him great. But just imagine how much more greater He becomes that although He is the Supreme controller, although He is the Supreme proprietor, although He is the Supreme enjoyer, although He is the original being and everything and everyone is ultimately coming from Him, although all these things are His constitutional nature, His greatest pleasure is becoming subordinate to the desire of His devotee. Therefore His devotee controls the Lord by their desire to please Him.
