In the entry for "Madhva" in THE OXFORD COMPANION TO PHILOSOPHY, one finds the following highly illuminating remarks: --------------------------------------------------------- ...Warning that you cannot adore God if you think that you are identical with him, he [Madhva] also celebrates all five differences denied by the idealist monists, namely, God...[is distinct from] the world, God...[is distinct from you or I am distinct from God], I... [am distinct from] you, I...[am distinct from] the table, the table...[is distinct from] the chair.... Liberation, attainable only through devoted worship of the personal God, brings blissful proximity to, but never equality with, God, though some sinners (non-dualists?) remain eternally damned! --------------------------------------------------------- Daniel http://hpb.cc
