In the entry on Madhva (the Hindu philosopher and exponent of Dvaita) 
in THE OXFORD COMPANION TO PHILOSOPHY, one finds the following 
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!
---------------------------------------------------------

Compare the above with what I have quoted in several recent postings 
of quotes from the Master K.H.
