Krishna, God, the Supreme Person rules all beings. He is the Master and the Supreme Judge.

Yes, there is a Supreme Being who rules everything. There are God-appointed heavenly beings who rule many areas of the galaxy, but Krishna, God, the Sovereign Person, the Supreme Master, is above them all. Every other celestial being, although he is master in his own domain and responsible for part of universal affairs, is insignificant compared to Krishna, the Sovereign Master, who declares “No one is superior to Me.”

Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, governs all beings, celestial beings, human beings, animals and plants. In this material universe, every being, whatever it is, is conditioned. Whether human, celestial or animal, plant or tree, all are dominated by the laws of nature, and behind them stands the Supreme Lord. God specifies for this purpose:

“Material nature acts under My direction and thus generates all beings, mobile and immobile. I stand in the heart of each being, and from Me come memory, knowledge and forgetfulness.”

Krishna is therefore the operator of the machine of nature, which operates according to its will. Each living being acts under the direction of God, in his aspect of Supreme Soul, present in his heart. The incarnate cannot accomplish anything without the consent of the Supreme Soul.

God, the Supreme Person, observes the objectives of the sense activities of all beings. The incarnate living being cannot even take a step without God guiding it. Under the influence of maya, the energy of illusion, the living being wants to taste the pleasures of this material world, but unless the Lord directs it and gives him the memory of his past lives, he will not no progress towards the goal he pursues in existence, which is compared to a shadow. The soul embodied and conditioned by matter wrongly goes towards a wrong goal, life after life, and it is God who remembers this goal in memory. During a lifetime, the conditioned soul wants to progress towards a certain goal, but it forgets while changing its body. However, because she wants to enjoy something in this world, God reminds her of it in her next life. Because the conditioned soul sometimes wishes to forget God, by His grace, the Lord provides him life after life with the means to make it so, almost perpetually. God therefore eternally directs conditioned embodied souls. It is because the Supreme Lord is the original cause of all that IS that everything seems real. He’s the ultimate reality, God, the Supreme Person.
