[Advaita-l] Taattvika Abheda and vyavaharika bheda in Dvaita and Advaita

[Raghav Kumar Dwivedula]

Namaste
It was said

-- in Dvaita such various
forms of the Lord are sattya (even though the svarUpa of such forms is One
and only)

This implies
1. The Lord has various 'forms'
2. There is a certain 'svarUpa' of these very 'forms' which is 'One' only .
3. That svarUpa of the Lord cannot be one more (i.e., yet another )
specific 'form' since all forms are already covered in statement 1.
4 This implies that the svarUpa has got to be 'formless' .

We can extend the 4 above sentences to other aspects like  'attributes'
instead of forms .

The svarUpa of the Lord who appears in all various forms and is One only
cannot be one more particular form - His svarUpa is formless .

Om
