Reality of jiva and ishvara

My reality , as jiva is nothing but chit, I am, is chit. I am formless, do not have any attributes, I am not space or time bound, I am pure existence.

The jagad has its reality in ishvara. Which means origin in ishvara.

When we say jagad it includes the inert objects, bodies and the beings enlivening the bodies.

The inert objects do not exist in isolation.

The word inert means, there is absence of expression on part of consciousness, or in fact consciousness is not having any mind, or any activity is not seen.

Even our nails and hair are inert only. It is the body alone that is conscious.


No inert object exists separately, it has no existence of its own, in the sense it is not a second object.

Consciousness is the vastu, and when we say for eg: inert earth, the earthness is an attribute like pot is an attribute to clay.

The earthness entails a certain set of attributes that convey earthness, and the sense organs percieve these attributes to determine "this indeeed is earth". The sense organs themselves are an attribute like pot, an attribute to consciousness.

So nothing is separate from consciousness. Do not exist as a second thing.

It is simply an attributeful consciousness, that is the ishvara.
