10) Jīvakaś cet jagat sraṣṭā, suṣuptau līyatāṃ jagat॥
Unmatto bhāṣate caivaṃ, vinodaṃ necchati sma yat!॥
[The world should have disappeared when the human being is in deep sleep, provided this bloody soul is the creator of the world. This world, including this soul in deep sleep, is created by God and therefore...

31) Śaṅkarasya jaganmithyā, satyaṃ Lakṣmaṇa Madhvayoḥ।
Jagadasat svayaṃ Brahma — sattayā jagadasti sat॥
[Śrī Śaṅkara told that this creation is mithyā, which does not mean non-existing. The world is inherently non-existent, but becomes existent by the existence of its creator, God, since God Himself has gifted existence to the world. Śrī Rāmānuja and Śrī Madhva told that the world is existent. Śrī Śaṅkara told that the world is neither existent...

1) Abheda bheda carcā syāt, Avatāre paraśvadhe।
Bhedaḥ Kṛṣṇe tva bhedaś ca, Katha manyonya śatrutā?॥
[In the case of Incarnation, both difference and oneness are involved. In the case of Śrī Paraśurāma, God quits Him when the work is over. In the case of Kṛṣṇa, God exists in Him forever. Both these cases contradict...

Śrī Rājīva Uvāca:-
[Shri Rajiiv Spoke]:-
1) Advaitaṃ dvaita mekaṃ hi, Kṛṣṇe satyaṃ bhavet kila।
Ekaṃ niścitya bhāṣasva, vastusthitiṃ hi vidmahe॥
[In the case of the most complete incarnation of Kṛṣṇa, whether there is monism between God and the soul of Kṛṣṇa or there is dualism between God and the soul of Kṛṣṇa, you decide one side and speak further. ..
[Shri Phani Kumar asked, “How can the contradicting philosophies i.e., monism (advaita) of Shankara and the dualism (dvaita) of Ramanuja and Madhva help the same human being in the same time?” Given below is Shri Swami’s response.]
Swami Replied: The same human being should identify the human incarnation as God and simultaneously should identify himself as not the God, being the servant of God. The first view is possible by the concept of Shankara and the second view is possible by the concept of Ramanuja and Madhva...
Shri Hemantha kumar, Advocate, asked: I am very much interested in the correlation of three philosophies of Shankara, Ramanuja and Madhva (Trimata Samanvaya). Can you give it to me?
Shri Swami Replied: Shankara told monism (Advaita) between God and soul preaching that both are one and the same. Madhva told Dualism (Dvaita) between God and soul preaching that both are totally different since God is the master and the soul is His servant. Ramanuja told an intermediate state of special monism (Vishishta Advaita) existing between monism and dualism stating that God and soul are inseparable...
Shri Bharath Krishna asked: Namah Shivaya Shri Datta Swami! I am Bharath from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham. I tried to know about mahatmas and in every story, I heard, I found that even if they are affected by deadly diseases, their smiles never fade. It is said that all of them were able to do it because they have realized that they are not the body but the Atman. But You have said that Atman (Jeevatma) is also inert because it is controlled by Parabrahman. You also said that Atman is just the flow of energy in the neurons all over our body. At least, I understood it like this. Now I have a doubt in this regard. If a person meets with an accident and loses one of his limbs then all the neurons in that part are lost. By this, I have to conclude that some part of the Atman is also lost...
Swami replied: Atman means the soul, which is the awareness in a human being. The awareness is the result of inert energy working in the nervous system. When a limb is cut from the body in an accident, the nervous energy in that cut limb disappears at once...

Taraṅgas sāgare naiva, viparīta miti stutau॥
[In the heart of Śrī Śaṅkara, Śrī Madhva (Dualism)exists. Only for the special project of conversion of atheists into theists, Śrī Śaṅkara had to use the technique of three statements (You are God, You exist and hence, God exists). Śrī Śaṅkara revealed His original idea...

Jātaṃ sthitaṃ hṛtaṃ Viṣṇoḥ, ūhyasya tarkavan na kim?॥
[This creation is generated, maintained and withdrawn into God Vishnu or God Nārāyaṇa, who is imaginable and visible. This world composed of both inert and living beings is also imaginable and visible. Both cause

Ghaṭayatya ghaṭanārthān, māyā śaktir mahā prabhoḥ॥
[The worldly logic applies to all items of the world. But, the same worldly logic fails in the case of God. The unimaginable power of the Lord of Lords can do all impossible actions in a fraction of a fraction of a second.]....

25) Jaḍa ci jjagatas cohyāt, nohyaṃ bhinnaṃ prapūrṇataḥ |
Parabrahma tato jīvāt, bhinnameva samantataḥ॥
[Only the difference between the unimaginable-unmediated-omnipotent God or Parabrahman and the imaginable creation containing both inert and non-inert entities is complete difference. Since the soul is a non-inert entity of creation, the difference between Parabrahman and the soul is also complete difference only. This means that the imaginable creation is totally different from the unimaginable God.]...

Mukteḥ param asti tasmin, sūkṣma ānanda bhogavān॥
[Before the creation of this world, the soul did not exist because the soul is a tiny part of the creation. The soul existed after the creation of the inert items of the world because the Veda says that the soul is created...

Lakṣmaṇo yukta sīmatvaṃ, madhvas sīma vibhinnavāk॥
[Śrī Śaṅkara denied plurality in God because in the unimaginable domain, the boundaries cannot be identified and hence, the boundaries are absent. Śrī Rāmānuja says that the boundaries of any imaginable...

Tasyāsa dasya sat so'pi, ramate'sat sadeva hi॥
[If X is true and if Y is false, to whom X is true and Y is false must be specified. For somebody X may be true and Y may be false, but, for somebody else X may be false and Y may be true. In that case something, which is true for somebody may become false for somebody else. There is also somebody, who feels false as true and gets himself entertained. For such person even the false becomes...
