Knowledge of Chaitanyam - 2 (Ishvara)

Chaitanyam means consciousness. This was the understand we gained in previous post 'Knowledge of Chaitanyam - 1 (jiva)'

Now let us look at ishvara.

The upanisad tells us that, he desired, he created, he became all this.
From his own knowledge, he manifest the unmanifest universe into manifestation. The universe is his knowledge, and it cyclically becomes manifest as an organic being, which also non separate from him, and goes back into seed form, which is also his knowledge.

Noe let us look at this HE. This HE, can he be 'material object' ? What is his nature, is it material, or is it consciousness.

We look around universe, there is order, there is water cycle, nitrogen cycle, gravity, nine planets rotating revolving in geometry, human body has so much complexities, that there is specialist doctor for every part.

Certainly for such order to be present, it requires a conscious being.

Upanisad tells us the same thing, that ishvara is satchitAnantha, he is limitless conscious being, who is the cause of existence.

So certainly ishvara is also consciousness.

Ishvara is chaitanyam with the attribute or function of being creator, maintainer and dissolver of entire universe.
