[Advaita-l] Is Ishvara a Gynani?

[kuntimaddi sadananda]

Shree Girishji

There seems to be some misunderstanding that once one realizes 'he' sees
to exist - it is true that he ceases to exist with the notions that 'I
am limited jiiva' but now 'He' exists with full understanding that - 
sarva bhuutastam aatmaanam sarva bhuutanica aatmani' all being are in me
and I am in all beings - just as Krishna declares. 'He' utilizes the
local equipment that is now available since the 'ego-centric entity -
he" has left that leaving it now for "He' - to use it for the benefit of
the totality - or loka kalyaanam. 
The avataara concept is also same.  A realized person is going up in the
realization of the self and Iswara is coming down occupying a local form
to fulfill the public demand with full knowledge while playing the role
of the form He has taken. 

Hari OM!
