Have we achieved Dvaita first?

[Guest guest]

People often misunderstand that Dvaita is relationship between God & an ordinary

human being. Such relationship is only the creator-created relationship. In

Dvaita, Madhva says that the relationship between God and the soul is the

relationship of Master-servant. Madhva Himself kept in the position of the

servant of God. Every human being cannot claim such position of Madhva, without

reaching that state by spiritual effort as explained above (Correct Spiritual

Knowledge – Theoretical Devotion – Service).

 

You must know that practical service to God alone can give any divine fruit.

Correct spiritual knowledge & theoretical devotion are only like water &

fertilizer for service-plant, which alone can yield fruit. Through such selfless

sacrifice of service in terms of sacrifice of work & fruit of work, you will be

selected as servant by God provided your service does not aspire any fruit

including fruit of becoming human incarnation. Now you have entered inner circle

of God & this is 1st step called as Dvaita.

 

If you see Hanuman, He straightly jumped from the knowledge to the service and

never expressed His love on God through songs and tears as per Valmiki Ramayana.

Some plants yield fruits just with supply of water without fertilizer.

Therefore, sometimes knowledge and service are sufficient without the

intermediate theoretical devotion. But here the soil acts as a hidden

fertilizer. Similarly, the theoretical devotion of Hanuman was kept hidden in

the mind only. Hence this intermediate state exists in a hidden way in such

cases.

 

 

Now one of the closest servants, excels other servants in service and becomes

the Son of God and sits on the right side of God as told by Jesus. Ramanuja also

says that one of the most fortunate devotees sits on the lap of Lord Narayana

and talks with Him and this is exactly coinciding with the above point of Bible.

This is the second state of Vishishtaadvaita. Now such Son of God comes down to

the earth with a gross body (as usual like any other human being) and God enters

him and pervades all over the soul and body.

 

Now, this Son of God is the human incarnation and is treated as God by the

devotees for hearing the knowledge and serving the God. This Son of God gets the

credit of all the wonderful works done by God, who is hidden in him. This is the

third & final state of Advaita. God entered the devotee, stays for his lifetime

and exits at the end. The entry of God is mentioned in the Veda

(Tadevanupravishat…). The exit of God is mentioned in the Bible, when Jesus

cried stating ‘Oh! God! Why did You leave me?’
