I is pure consciousness. From the standpoint of mind, and body I is the witness cosnciousness. I also lends consciousness to the body mind self complex. This is because the body mind and so on, are the power of consciousness, present as inseperable maya shakti, wherein consciousness is the creator the lord. Same consciousness is the witness also. Same consciousness manifests as this universe, without undergoing any change, so has ishvaratvam as well. With ishvaratvam this whole universe known +unknown is accounted for. With ishvaratvam also, consciousness is pure witness consciousness same sakshi chaitanyam. Sihvaratvam cannot undergo change, same way witneshood cannot change. The mind may undergo changes, which is none other than again ishvaratvam alone. Mind is ishvara, breath is ishvara, speech and so on is ishvara, seeing etc. hearing is ishvara. Eating sleeping is all ishvara. That is the message of shruti.
