God is also said to be a bird in Veda
Para Brahma taadaatmyaat suparnavat.

(God is also said to be a bird in Veda. Here the unimaginable God charged the Jivaatman, the bird. Hence, God is also treated as bird).

Here God is also said to be a bird. This does not mean that God is also another composite of subtle and causal bodies. God is unimaginable and cannot be said as any known item. The subtle and causal bodies are known items and hence God cannot be said as the composite of other subtle and causal bodies. Hence, God cannot be said as the bird. But here God is said to be another bird, because, when God entered the human being, God charged Jivaatman and hence God is also treated as another Jivaatman. When current enters a wire, the current is treated as the wire itself. In this way, the unimaginable God is treated as the imaginable Jivaatman or bird.
