Why is Isvara ईश्वर mentioned then?
Because you see the world and want to know how it came into being. They say that it was created by God. If you know that He created you and all else, your mind is a little satisfied and becomes less restless than otherwise. But it is not realisation. It can be only if you realise yourself; this is perfection or Realisation, etc. To resume polemics - the author of Vritti Prabhakara claims to have
studied 350,000 books before writing this book. What is the use? Can they bring in Realisation of the Self? Vichara Sagara is full of logic and technical terms. Can these ponderous volumes serve any real purpose? However, some people read them and then seek sages only to see if they can meet their questions. To read them, to discover new doubts and to solve them, is a source of pleasure to them. Knowing it to be sheer waste, the sages do not encourage such people. Encourage them once and there will be no end.
Only the enquiry into the Self can be of use.
Those familiar with logic, Vritti Prabhakara, वृत्ति-प्रभाकर, Vichara Sagara विचार-सागर, or Sutra-Bhashya, सूत्र-भाष्य or similar large works, cannot relish small works like Truth-Revealed dealing only with the Self and that pointedly too, because they have accumulated vasanas वासना (latent past impressions on mind). Only those whose minds are less muddy, or are pure, can relish small and purposeful works.
