Ishwara is the sum total of individuals; yet He Himself also is an individual in the same way as the human body is a unit, of which each cell is an individual.
Samashti or the Collective is God.
Vyashti or the component is the soul of Jiva.
... ... Jiva, and Ishwara are co - existent beings.
... ... Again, since in all the higher spheres, except on our earth, the amount of good is vastly in excess of the amount of bad, the sum total or Ishwara may be said to be All - good, Almighty, and Omniscient.
- Swami Vivekananda
