One in his the pure awareness,

is an assemblage of all the rishis, maharishis, devarishis, brahmarishis,

devas, gandharva s kinneras kimpurushas ----simultaneously ---but in different stages of evolution 
 

like a field with all kinds of trees vegetation plants
 

it's yoga kshethra 
 

it's a internal university, with students, professors, scholars, research students, guides ,

of different faculties and different degrees

so one can be one of these or all of these simultaneously .
