A doubt about Dvaita

[Guest guest]

Namaskaram

Respected & learned members of this list,

I am trying to learn more about our, (meaning Hindu), systems of philosophy.

As I understand them, the basic premise is that the Brahman is infinite,

flawless, and changeless. We argue that the individual jiva and Brahman are

identical, because there can be nothing besides infitnity.

 

The other two postulates namely the brahman being flawless and changeless go

against this argument because the individual jiva is both flawed and

changing . Advaita has come up with the maya doctrine only to get over this

difficulty.

 

My question is how does dvaita reconcile the infiniteness of the brahman

with the concept of fivefold differences.

 

Though this isnot strictly about visishtadvaita, I shall be most grateful if

you could kindly enlighten me on this.

 

Madhavan
