The Jiva is not same as Brahma for them. They have to know Jiva and
Brahma both. But for us knowing Svarupa of Jiva is knowing Brahma.
Therefore we can say the Sutras will give us knowledge of Svarupa of
Jiva living in the body. For them they want extra knowledge of Brahma.
The Sutras are giving that.
