We approach God from below: the almighty Lord — grant this, protect, arrange. Śrī Prem Prayojan Prabhu turns the picture over. A game of chess where you know your opponent's every move: you always win — and you're bored. A birthday: friends hide with balloons to surprise you — but if you were omniscient, there's no surprise, the heart doesn't melt. So omnipotence is itself an obstacle to close love. That is why Chaitanya told Sanatana: the essence of God is not power but madhurya, sweetness — to play as one human with another, in eternal relationships. God does not want to be worshipped only as the ruler; He longs to set that power down — to become a friend, and to those who love Him, even a servant.
