The two attributes of ishvara are
a. Aishwaryam or overlordship
b. Sri or wealth
This mean ishvara is all aishwaryam or authority
And all sri or all wealth
Even is someone claims to be owning acres of land, claims to be in power and authority, that wealth and authority in reality belongs to the lord.
It is due to the karma of the jiva, the jiva attains the respective upadhi, which has been rented out to the person, based on the punya karma , that the jiva has earned in his or her past and present lifetimes.
Because of our ignorance, we live under the presumption that, any wealth or authority belongs to either us, or we assume, it permanently belongs to someone.
There are certain corridors of power, there are also certain avenues of wealth.
As a human we have to deal with these corridors or power and avenues of wealth.
We deal with them, in terms of dharma, with honest, straight forwardness.
However if the authority people and avenues of wealth, are taken over by adharmic people, then it is a useful reminder to us, that although bhagavan has temporarily given them the power and wealth, it is not permanent, and he can take them away any time very easily.
So while in transaction we are dealing with people who become means of either granting permissions (through their power), or granting wealth , we ultimately are thankful to the lord alone, who is providing us these via various people.
Thereby , in people we see the manifestation of god.
In dharma, and even when people transgress dharma, we do see, that there IS dharma, which this person is transgressing.
