He who is attached and is proud about the material body is called Viśva; he who attaches importance to the subtle body is called Taijasa, and he who is aware of the causal body is called Prājña. The jīva is Vyaṣṭisvarūpa (has individuality) but Īśvara is Samaṣṭyātmaka (embraces all the jīvas). Īśvara works impelled by my power).
