Ishwar and Jeeva (Dehi)

It is the most complex part of Bodh,  can not be understood even after trying several times, because lot of things, which can not be understood through worldly experience or knowledge. Continuous and prolonged Churning of thoughts, knowledge and explanations, on the direction toward the correctness of it (not toward doubting) and complete faith on Guru, one can be able to understand it. In Sruti it is also said, only after, continuous study in many incarnations, one becomes prepared to understand it.  Understand means can catch the essence of truth, else, the Maya  will be seen as all saw the Snake, as told in chapter 5 of Ishwar and Maya. 

Many scholars/ Sages has explained the about the Ishwar is the Supreme Consciousness, some Schools/ Group calls it Krishna Consciousness some Calls it Ishwar, who is the maker or creator of all the Jagat or the Universe or all the Existing Creation which are seen and existing. He is also known as Narayana (the Nar, who is forming all Nar in universe, lot of Nar is said as Nara and Ayan is used here or with meaning from where they are created or where they live etc.).

The Chandogya Upnishad says, there was nothing, no universe and Ishwar thought I become universe and all different forms of life.   

तदैक्षत बहु स्यां प्रजायेयेति तत्तेजोऽसृजत तत्तेज ऐक्षत बहु स्यां प्रजायेयेति तदपोऽसृजत । तस्माद्यत्र क्वच शोचति स्वेदते वा पुरुषस्तेजस एव तदध्यापो जायन्ते ॥ 6.2.3 ॥

Means, He thought to become many and he backe, i.e. he thought and all the Universe/ Jagat  came into existence, along with all of  various type of life in all type of environment (Water, Land and Air)  and in all type of birth (from Egg, From Womb, From dirtywater (virus etc), from Soil (plants etc.).

By this, Chandogya Upnishad, has very nicely and clearly explained the Ishwar has become himself as Maya and livable bodies, by imagining or thinking or just by willing. Jeeva (Dehi), is the different entity and is enjoying (living, tasting, seeing, feeling happiness, feeling pain etc) the universe and life, through livable body.

In Srimad Bhagwat, 2nd Skandh, chatushloki Bhagwat, Ishwar told about himself and Universe or Jagat.

श्रीभगवानुवाच ।

॥ इति श्रीमद्भागवते महापुराणेऽष्टादशसाहस्र्यां
संहितायां वैयसिक्यां द्वितीयस्कन्धे भगवद्ब्रह्मसंवादे
चतुःश्लोकीभागवतं समाप्तम् ॥ (Meaning will be explained later)

Ishwar Says, I am explaining, the most secret knowledge, with Devine knowledge (special means which have evidence or proof or proved through Bhakti and wisdom).

In BharamVaivart, Ishwar said, I with Maya, with Solely my Sankalp (Desire or will), ParamAtma Bharmaa was born, he is the only holder  Samsti shooksham Shareer (supreme holder of life or Dehi) along with Consciousness in it (means consciousness is inside the Samasti shooksham sharrer as image in a mirror or glass. He is also known as Samasti ( samasti means unified or Grand Combination of all part or divisions) Mahad Tattva or Samasti Buddhi (Wisdom or Intelligence) and he is also known as Samasti Man etc.

Bharma is the Samasti Mahad Tattva (Grand Union of all Intelligence in Jagat, Jagat means existing world or which is born with sankalp of Ishwar) , and all the jeeva (Dehi) are part of Lord Bharma as a dust particle is part of earth or water drop is part of Ocean. Beyond Jagat, Bharhm (ब्रह्म) is the Source of Absolute Consciousness (Ishwar), i.e. In Jagat, Bharma(ब्रह्मा) is the source of Jeeva (जीव/ देहीं).  

One Scholar has very nicely explained Bharma, as Mirror, one big mirror, having infinite part of small mirror, when they get together, then it become BharamMirror and we can se only one Sun reflection in it, but when it is apart in infinite parts (jeeva), we can see infinite Sun reflection, one in each part, and each part is alive with a Sun in them.

The Jeeva or Dehi is never born, it is part of Bharma, i.e. Jeeva or Dehi is also Aja, means never born, hence will never die too. Dehi is timeless, immortal and will never get away from Jagat, till Bharma is in Jagat or as per Ishwar Desire or Sankalp.

As Per Shuriti during Day time, Lord Bharma, remains active, so the Life part is also remain active (Part means Jeeva, or Dehi), is equal to 4.32 billion human years and is called as "kalpa".  Means life in Universe thrive for such a long period and after that Night comes. One night is also of same duration, and during Night time, all Parts get united and Lord Bharma remains inactive accordingly all Jeeva get Yog (union) and Jagat becomes life less. Means One day and One Night of Lord Bharma is 8.64 billion Years and life of Bharma is 100 years. It is the life cycle of each Jeeva or Dehi, or Us, enjoying the changing world, through livable body, made and maintained by Ishwar for us.

Guru ji, Continiued....why the Bharma was desired/ Created by Ishwar to Create Jeeva in Universe.
