JagannAtha dAsa establishes the connection between Isha and jIva by an example here.

 

A father decorates his son with good clothing and excellent ornaments and accepts obeisance from him. The father wishes the progress of his son. The father thus blesses his son for his success and is happy to bless his son.

 

Similarly, ParamAtma – the Creator of this world is the Father and all the jIva-s are his sons. ParamAtma provides the sAdhana sharIra to the jIva and requirements for his experience. He accepts the services of His devotees and blesses them.

 

Existing in the statue, other dEvata-s and elder persons and accepting the services of His devotees, He is called ‘pUjya’ and performing biMba kriya through His devotees and doing the pUja and thus called ‘pUjaka’. He is thus ‘pUjya-pUjaka’. There is no difference between these two rUpa-s of ParamAtma. Existing in gaMdha, puShpa, tuLasi and other pUja items and accepting those things for His pUja, ParamAtma blesses his devotees and provides them happiness. The ever happy ParamAtma grants happiness to His pratibiMba jIva-s. Meditating on the fact that there is no difference between His pratimAMtaRgata rUpa and His aMtaRyami rUpa in His devotees and the bhagavadrUpa in the pUja items is the real ‘bhagavad pUja’.

 

Just as the clothing and the ornaments put on by the son belongs to the father, similarly all the pUja items also belong to ParamAtma. Paying obeisance to the father gets success for the son. Similarly, ParamAtma blesses the jIva (decorated with the body, mind and items provided by Him) who pays obeisance to Him with bhakti.
