For me Flame has lot of sparks & the spark is the cause of everything. I am
that spark & spark is all over.
What you have raised is the fundamental concept of duality.
Three great saints have pronounced and all of them have tried to prove their
philosophies, with millions of followers behind them on the question of God
& our approaches in realisation of the same.
Advaitha Philosophy-Shankaracharya whose teaching's essense was "Aham
Brahmasmi-I am God. Madwacharya pronounced the Philosophy of Dwaitha-God &
Soul are different. Ramanujacharya saw the realisation in Vishisthadwaitha
where Soul & God are separate & the former merges with latter, which you
indicate.
My birth & as per my regligion my Guru is Ramanujacharya. By practice I
follow Shankaracharya's Aham Brahmasmi.
However I wish not to dispute any further, except to mention the truth is
one. It can't be different because we see them differently. The question
gets answered only when we are in truth.

It is not man's limited science I am not talking about.
My point was to convey .. all are well structured and nothing left
unforseen.
Are you blessing me... my God in me... !!! LOL! A joke ofcourse.
With love,
Gopal

Dear Amanda, the dual concept your read in The book on Tibetan Dream Yoga
"Because we are all in the dual perspective, having a dual experience, or
rather, initially, viewing god in a dual perspective is a good place to
start" can also be seen in the perspective of Dwitha & Vishishtadwaitha
Philosophy of Madwacharya & Ramanujacharya.
