What is meant by Mode of Brahman?

From the Bhakti List Archives

Dear Vaishnavas:

I have a question which I would like to get clarified. 

In our real svarupa, we (jivatmas) along with Prakriti are said to 
be the Body of Brahman (Narayana). This is easy to understand (and 
also visibly shown to Arjuna). 

However the jiva is also said to be an attribute of Brahman. How is 
it that the jiva, who is a substantive existent, is also considered 
an attribute? Also the jiva is said to be a Mode of Brahman. What is 
meant by Mode? Can someone kindly elucidate?

dasan,
P.Srinivasan
