Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 01, Chapter 06, Text 07

SB 1.6.7

sasvatantra na kalpasid
yoga-ksemam mamecchati
isasya hi vase loko
yosa darumayi yatha
 
Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
 
She wanted to look after my maintenance properly, but because she was not independent, she was not able to do anything for me. The world is under the full control of the Supreme Lord; therefore everyone is like a wooden doll in the hands of a puppet master.
