The whole universe, all objects and Jivas have come out of the same Infinite Intelligence. That is to say, Jivas are the same as the Supreme being just as sparks are similar to the fire from which they emanate. But the only difference is in their intensity.
Also, verses here allude to the Supreme God with and without attributes.
Now, the essence of the highest Brahman is Nirguna. So, this means that He has no attributes, no form or colour. Further He is also not a cause for anything. In fact, its very difficult to describe Nirguna or Absolute Brahman. However, Vedantic wisdom uses the famous Neti, Neti (not this, not this) formula to arrive at the Indescribable Indestructible Absolute Brahman.
Further, the secondary form of Brahman is Saguna, which means Brahman with attributes. This is also called the โUnmanifested Mayaโ or the material cause, here.

The truth is that just as thousands of similar sparks emanate from a blazing fire, so do a multitude of beings (Jivas) originate from the Indestructible one and finally return back (dissolve) to the source (Saguna Brahman- Supreme Being with Form, Unmanifested Maya) again.

But that Transcendental Effulgence (Nirguna Brahman- Supreme Being without form, Purusha) which exists both inside and outside of everything, has no mind or form is birthless and is without vital force is superior to Saguna Brahman.

The Heavens, fueled by the Sun emerges from Him. From the Moon emerges the clouds and from the clouds the plants and grains on Earth. Man emerges (sustains) out of this and copulates (sincati retas) with woman (of which children emerge) Thus all creatures have emerged out of the Purusha.
