"I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, only the tip of the toe of whose
lotus feet is approached by the yogis who aspire after the
transcendental and betake themselves to pranayama by drilling the
respiration; or by the jnanis who try to find out the nondifferentiated
Brahman by the process of elimination of the mundane, extending over
thousands of millions of years." (Brahma-samhita 5.34)

The Supreme Godhead is unconquerable; no one can conquer the Lord. But
He voluntarily accepts subordination to the devotional qualities of His
devotees. For example, Lord Krishna accepted subordination to the
control of mother Yasoda because she was a great devotee. The Lord
likes to be under the control of His devotees. In the
Caitanya-caritamrta it is said that everyone comes before the Lord and
offers Him exalted prayers, but the Lord does not feel as pleased when
offered such prayers as He does when a devotee, out of pure love,
chastises Him as a subordinate.
