Sankaracarya's Vivekachudamani 405

एकात्मके परे तत्त्वे भेदवार्ता कथं वसेत् ।
सुषुप्तौ सुखमात्रायां भेदः केनावलोकितः ॥

ekātmake pare tattve bhedavārtā kathaṃ vaset |
suṣuptau sukhamātrāyāṃ bhedaḥ kenāvalokitaḥ |
(Sankaracarya's Vivekachudamani 405)

In One Supreme Reality, how can there be any talk of distinctions? Who can ever perceive any distinctions in the pure bliss of deep sleep?

You are the father of this complete cosmic manifestation, the worshipable chief, the spiritual master. No one is equal to You, nor can anyone be one with You. Within the three worlds, You are immeasurable.
Whoever knows His transcendental body, activities, and perfection, after quitting his body, returns to Him and doesn't come back again to this miserable world. Therefore one should know that Krishna's activities are different from others. The best policy is to follow the principles of Krishna; that will make one perfect. It is also stated that there is no one who is master of Krishna; everyone is His servant. Only Krishna is God, and everyone is a servant. Everyone is complying with His order. There is no one who can deny His order. Everyone is acting according to His direction, being under His superintendence. As stated in the Brahma-Samhita, He is the cause of all causes.
