This is good news, since it allows us to understand that īśvara regulates everything, if we allow it in confidence, and we ourselves can resign ourselves to free consciousness without the apparent power māyā.

Because of his causal role, īśvara thus becomes the antaryāmī, the inner ruler and controller of everything. It is antaḥ, inside, inner. This means inclusive, because it is all-in.

This is true non-dually, because as consciousness everything takes place in me. Seen in this way, I am like īśvara. The only difference is that in ignorance you experience and think that you are an agent, an actor, a doer, a enjoyer, a suffering entity, and responsible for all the action of the jīva (living individual). But this is only a cog of the whole īśvara. It is all meant not to bother us, and the jīva obediently the svabhava and svadharma of his prārabdha karma
serve out. This is not easy, but it makes you happy and satisfied.

So you could say: After self-knowledge I see everything that takes place in consciousness'. This manifests itself from the "great unconscious within," the antaryāmī. See how brilliant this vision! My 'inner', everything that takes place in consciousness, is the 'great player' īśvara.

Of course, in the beginning we experience ourselves as human beings as a small, limited being in ignorance, the limited inner being of our specific karma. But all the drives that I experience in the individual mind come from the individual causal body, which is part of the total causal body (antaryāmī) of Īśvara.

It gives me, as a jīva as is known, results of previous choices in this life or in previous lives. Īśvara is all power, all knowledge, and it is perfectly logical that he therefore controls and regulates everything.

The individual (vyaṣṭiḥ) piece of antaryāmī is called prājña. This may be familiar to you from lessons on the Māṇḍūkyopaniṣad. It is jīva in the role of a deep sleeper. This is identified with the 'unmanifested' causal body, from which daily life will manifest itself again after waking up from sleep. Thus, in deep sleep, the potential is always ready to give results in dreaming or waking.
