Tattva 4 — Īśvara
The world coming into focus: 'I' and 'this' in perfect balance, vividly envisioned before being externalized.
At the Īśvara level the dawning world comes into clear focus: 'I' and 'this' now stand in balanced view, like a painter who sees the finished picture vividly in the mind before lifting the brush. Subject and object are held together in clear, even equilibrium, each answering the other. The universe is, as it were, fully envisioned within consciousness — clearly there, but not yet projected as something external.
