[Advaita-l] atman and isvara

[Kaushik Chevendra]

Namaste.
A small question has arisen. Will be glad if the elders can provide an
answer.
Isvara is said to be the creator,sustainer,destroyer etc of the universe.
He is also the karma phala data, etc. He is possessed of gunas.
He is the atman(antaryamin of all beings). But the antaryamin atman is
nirvesha and never does any activity. The atman by its mere presence
facilitates the body and manas do its work,
Then how is that isvara is the atman(nirvesha) at the same time controller
of maya and possesed of gunas of sarvashaktha,sarvajnata etc.
