[Advaita-l] Omnipresence

[Venkatesh Murthy]

Namaste

The Acharya of Dvaitis has accepted only the Nimitta Karanatva of Ishwara.
That means the world did not spring out of Ishvara's body. The Jeevas are
always separate from Ishvara and Jada is separate from Jeeva and Ishwara.

bheda-panchakaH ||– paramashruti*




*“The difference between the jîva (soul) and Îshvara (Creator),and the
difference between jaDa (insentient) and Îshvara;and the difference between
various jîvas, and the difference between jaDa and jîva;and the difference
between various jaDas.”*
