the living entity & Krsna

Srila Prabhupada gives credit to "enjoying the same facility or the same
amount of pleasure as the Supreme" and "the enjoyment can be equally
participated".

So far couldn't find about "enjoying more than the Lord".

************************************************** **************************

We are not enjoyer; we are enjoyed. So we must know our constitutional
position, that we are not enjoyer; we are enjoyed. As soon as we are
convinced to this particular...
Now, enjoyer and enjoyed, both of them have got consciousness. Just
like the husband and the wife. The husband is the enjoyer, the wife is the
enjoyed, but both of them are conscious. But the consciousness of the
enjoyed is the subordinate to the consciousness of the enjoyer. So although
the supreme consciousness is the supreme enjoyer, and we are enjoyed, but
the enjoyment can be equally participated when there is actual enjoyment. So
our enjoyment can be perfect, our enjoyment can be perfected when we
participate the enjoyment of God.

Bhagavad-gita Lecture Excerpts: 2.44-45, 2.58, New York, March 25, 1966

************************************************** **************************

"..The Supreme Personality of Godhead and the living entity are
qualitatively one; both are defined as purusa. The quality of purusa exists
both in the Supreme Godhead and in the living entity. Purusa means
"enjoyer," and the spirit of enjoyment is present both in the living entity
and in the Supreme Lord. The difference is that the quantity of enjoyment is
not equal. The living entity cannot experience the same quantity of
enjoyment as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. An analogy may be made with
a rich man and a poor man: the propensity for enjoyment is present in both,
but the poor man cannot enjoy in the same quantity as the rich man. When the
poor man dovetails his desires with those of the rich man, however, and when
there is cooperation between the poor man and the rich man, or between the
big and the small man, then the enjoyment is shared equally. That is like
bhakti-yoga. purusah purusam vrajet: when the living entity enters into the
kingdom of God and cooperates with the Supreme Lord by giving Him enjoyment,
he enjoys the same facility or the same amount of pleasure as the Supreme
Personality of Godhead."
