The development of individual from the cosmic or absolute stage is by a series of individualities or individual forms being taken up from the Central force. In other words, we must presume that once the Centre has started to come into action at the time of creation, the several levels of organizations in space take place. Those which are very near the Centre are very pure and as we proceed a little more away from the Centre, we reach, what we call, the region of splendour and when we go still far we come across the region of Ego, and as we go more and more away from the Centre, we get the material world such as we perceive. These three regions Master describes as the regions called the Central Region, the region of Ego and the Region of Pinda Desha or individual human beings or creatures. So, every one of the individuals, who passes onward away from the Centre to the pinda Desha and still farther on, has all those things with it. Inside the inmost core, we have got the very nature of the Divine Force which we must call "the first Formation of the Individual". Later on, we have an ego covering over it and still later, we have got a physical cover. So there is one continuity between what we call 'thought' and 'matter'. Thought is at the back or is the basis of matter, and if matter has become what we call life in its extreme form of its manifestation, it is only to be presumed that that original thought is very much covered up almost to be called dead. So, in matter, the Supreme Divine is also covered. Matter cannot exist without it, without possessing this as its core, as its nucleus. In that sense, we find that the individual soul called the Jeevatma, even in its grossest formation, contains within it, the Universal Being. And if you call the Jeevatma you call with it the Brahman, though it must be noted that it is covered up with this entire Universe. Covered up means two things. The Isavasya Upanishad, might well be quoted in this connection. Isa Vasyam Idam Sarvam - two meanings may be given to the word Vasyam, Isa or God is enveloping the entire world. That is, He is in fact completely containing the world within Himself. It may also mean that Isa is that which is in everything, or covered up by everything. By a double usage, we will find that the Individual soul is really Brahman covered by everything. But as Brahman, it is He who is covering everything. In both the cases, Master considers, they are covered up and covering. In that sense, they are related to manifestation. God is bound to
