Shvetashvatara Upanishad 4.16
intermediate
स तन्मयो ह्यमृत ईशसंस्थो ज्ञः सर्वगो भुवनस्यास्य गोप्ता। य ईशेऽस्य जगतो नित्यमेव नान्यो हेतुर्विद्यत ईशनाय॥
sa tanmayo hyamṛta īśasaṃstho jñaḥ sarvago bhuvanasyāsya goptā | ya īśe\'sya jagato nityameva nānyo heturvidyata īśanāya ||
"He is indeed that, immortal, established as the Lord, the knowing one, omnipresent, the protector of this world. He eternally rules this world. There is no other cause for His lordship."
What This Means:
God is immortal, established as Lord, all-knowing, everywhere present, protecting this world. He rules forever. Nothing else makes Him Lord - He simply is.
Going Deeper:
God's lordship is not derived from anything else - it is svabhava (intrinsic nature). He is not made Lord by any external factor.
How To Apply This:
Accept the sovereignty of the Supreme without seeking explanations. Divine lordship is self-established.
