According to Madhva Jiva and Brahman are

A) different B) non-different C) Both A and B D) None of these

Discuss

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option C

Solution:

Madhva is the founder of the Dvaita Vedanta school of philosophy.

According to Dvaita Vedanta, there is a fundamental and eternal difference between Jiva (individual soul) and Brahman (Supreme Being).

Madhva asserts that Jiva is completely dependent on Brahman and can never become identical with it.

This dualistic view strongly opposes the non-dualism of Advaita Vedanta.

Therefore, according to Madhva, Jiva and Brahman are different.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A: different.
