In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
: archive.org: A History of Indian Philosophy (vaishnavism)碍峁迟谤补箩帽补 (啶曕啶粪啶む啶班啷嵿).鈥擨n a more direct sense God is also called 办峁迟谤补箩帽补, because He not only behaves as the inner controller of 尘腻测腻 but also of all those that are affected by it and yet remains one with Himself through His essential power. The 办峁迟谤补箩帽补 should not be interpreted in a monistic manner, to mean only a pure unqualified consciousness, but as God, the supreme inner controller.
The view that unqualified pure consciousness is the supreme reality is erroneous. Consequently a distinction is drawn between the vya峁ａ弓i-办峁迟谤补箩帽补 (the individual person) and the sama峁ａ弓i-办峁迟谤补箩帽补 (the universal person)鈥擥od, the latter being the object of worship by the former. This form of God as the inner controller is called 辫补谤补尘腻迟尘补苍.
