Q: Is there difference in the states of consciousness of the two classes of Vibhutis?
A: So long as they belong to the same plane of Being havingthe same field for the activity of their consciousness, there cannot be any difference in the states, though there can be difference in the quality of their activity and in the manifestation of the truth or quality they embody—even in the original status of their being.
Q: Is it that all males are Ishwara's Vibhutis and all females are Mother's Vibhutis?
A: Mother's Vibhutis are always female and Ishwara's are always male.
Q: Could it be that some females are Ishwara's Vibhutis and some males are Mother's?
A: Usually no; we must bear in mind that when we speak of sex, we refer to the embodiment, not to the soul, which has no sex. And embodiment is a natural composition in the manifested existence. The soul continues the same line of manifestation which implies the sex element.
