Atma Bodha, Verse 9 introduces the relationship between unchanging Brahman and the changing universe through two types of material causes (upādāna-kāraṇa): vivarta (producing effect without change, like Brahman/gold) and pariṇāmi (undergoing change to produce effects, like Īśvara‘s intelligence constantly reorganizing). Brahman‘s potential power (māyā) manifests as Īśvara, while Brahman remains unchanged as vivarta-upādāna-kāraṇa. This manifestation is proven by: (1) the intelligent organization of the universe showing pre-existing potential, and (2) ongoing manifestation of future potential (like tomorrow's events). The verse uses gold-ornament analogy to show how one substance can appear as many forms without losing its nature. The complete reality is simultaneously present here and now: we can observe physical forms (like bodies, objects), which are pervaded by manifested intelligence/knowledge-power (Īśvara organizing and governing these forms), which contains unmanifest potential for future manifestations (māyā), all of which are illumined by ever-present Awareness (Brahman). This makes Vedānta not a historical account or theoretical model, but a means to recognize what is directly available for investigation in our immediate experience.
