“ ‘Lord ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the cause of all causes. He is past, present and future, and He is the movable and immovable. He is the greatest and the smallest, and He is visible and directly experienced. He is celebrated in the Vedic literature. Everything is Kṛṣṇa, and without Him there is no existence. He is the root of all understanding, and He is that which is understood by all words.’

Purport

This verse from ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam (10.46.43) was spoken by Uddhava when he came to pacify all the inhabitants of Vá¹›ndÄvana during Kṛṣṇa’s absence.
