The different emphasis of the words “God”, “Lord” and “Krishna”

 In  this  first  section [of the Chaitanya Shikhsamrita]  the  words “Lord”,  “God”  and  “Krsna”  have  all  been  used.    The reader should not  think   that  these  words refer  to separate entities.     Krsna  is the only form,  the  only  object  of    worship by  the  soul.    Krsna  is  the  complete  revelation  of sweetness in God.     When  we  consider Krsna  in relation to other  objects   and  need  to emphasize his lordship, we use the word “Lord.”  That is why  in the beginning the word “Lord” was  used  instead of Krsna.    Lordship is nothing more  than  the natural  control that  Krsna  displays  towards the objects  of his creation.  In enumerating, the objects  of existence,  the  word “Lord” is thus  used:   cit (conscious entity),  acit (matter) and  isvara (Lord, controller of both).
