Bhagavad Gita -Sri Madhvacharya

(Bhashya and Tatparya Nirnaya)

Chapter 2 Sankhya Yoga Being the dominant in Himself and the World being similar to Him to some extent and knowing that the World is subservient to Him, and knowing Him thus, one acquires undisputed wisdom. Knowing the world to be independent of Him is mere delusion. Such delusion will' bring untold misery. Even as knowing the clod of earth, the benefits of pots and other similar objects made therefrom also come to be known, even as from knowing the word मुतिका, which is eternal, benefits of knowing the non-eternal and subsidiary elements like dust come to be known? Even so by knowing the Supreme Person, the Prime Existence, who is the Cause, though Independent in Himself, all the benefits of knowing the entire world, also accrue. Even in deliverance, every one is in His shelter and ever subservient to Him. He is subtle, all pervading, and complete in all attributes. In Him does rest the entire Universe (therefore) you will never can be like Him.Even as the bird and the thread, the essences of different flowers and the trees, the essence and the from of the tree, the rivers and the ocean, the salt and the water, the human being and the place of his dwelling, the dead one not being able to recognize his relatives, the robber and the robbed, even so you and the Lord, even though eternal are different entirely, the Lord being ever Independent. How can the dependent be united with One who is Independent (of all else). The Lord having dwelt in all Jivas with the intention of giving the life- Breath, is called Primary Jiva in the normal parlance in Samsara. Every thing is subservient to Him, He is subservient to no one. Difference between Jiva and the Lord exists and similarly difference between Gross (world) and the Lord; difference between Jiva and Jiva and similarly between Gross (world) and Jiva, and also difference between the Gross (world) and the Gross (world) are mentioned as the five-fold differences. They are eternal because they are unborn, if born, they would be capable of destruction. Therefore eternal are these five types of differences. Since these differences were created by Sri Vishnu they are the Eternal Truths, not imagined due to hallucination.
