What exactly the position of Ishwara ( the lord, sOpAdhika, kArya, upAsya, apara brahma) in Advaita ??


?     Just further to this, it would be interesting to know as per advaita, whether shiva-vishNu with their respective forms and families are really there in their abodes (kailAsa / vaikunta) and waiting for their respective upAsaka-s to do upAsana and when the sAdhana is completely 'pakva' appear before them and fulfil the wishes of that sAdhaka and go back again and wait for another upAsaka's sAdhana and sAkshAtkAra OR it is jeeva assumes some forms (ofcourse as per shAstra yukta devata divine form) and do the meditation / upAsana on some shAstrOkta form and with that 'bala' of upAsana,  some common shakti which is basically nirAkAra but 'knowing' the sAdhana of particular individual sAdhaka and appears in the form of upAsya devata even though not having its own form??  If it is later then we have to conclude that this power is basically nirAkAra but having the guNa / iccha shakti to take any form just to bless the upAsaka in the form of this sAdhaka's upAsya devata.

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
