Dear Bhagavat Bhaktas!

Hari Om. Again without the benefit of any knowledge of
the authoritative scriptures, but with my intellect, i
submit:

we can probably think of Brhman as the network of
individual Jeevatmas, just like a computer network or
even as a group of people. each individual of the
group has a sense of individual identity, but the
group identity is not just a sum of the individuals
but something more. 

another analogy. each letter has a separate identity
but a group of letters is a word, with a separate
meaning.

in such a situtation, the individual becomes a subset
or an element of the whole, and can be considered as a
dravya. and if we see the 'modern' atomic theory,
matter is just a condensed state of energy and both
are interchangeable.

I do hope more authentic discussion will enlighten us.
In the meantime, i hope the group bears with such
'children' like this writer.

hari om tatsat.

swamy swarna
