Tattva 3 — Sadāśiva
The first whisper of a world: a faint 'this' dawning inside the overwhelming 'I am.'
At the Sadāśiva level the perfectly undivided consciousness takes its first step toward becoming a world: a faint sense of 'this' — an object, a world to be — dawns within the all-encompassing 'I.' But the objectivity is still dim and the subjectivity overwhelming, like the barely-formed image of a painting still mostly in the artist's mind. It is the first whisper of the universe within God, where the 'I am' just begins to glimpse an 'all this.'
