i get why someone would say that grace is dispensed foremostly through sacraments, aka what God has made sacred for our benefit. but the most sacred thing a person can experience is their own divine soul, full of bliss and love.

both view the others practice as a not totally useless but avoidable step in the path to final realization. the madhva-gaudiya believes that impersonalists will always fall down if they dont proceed to bhakti yoga, while the kevaladvaitin views worship of saguna brahman/Ishvara as a means of gradual realization which will become full realization in the light of jnana yoga (through devayana).

gosh i went from polemics against "impersonalists" to polemics *by* impersonalists. one guy calls jnana "speculative knowledge", the other refers to a "bhakti cult". don't you guys realize you all want the same thing and will achieve it one day???

maybe i'm so mad about the monism-lite view of final beatitude because i desperately want my personality to be annihilated in the Supreme. i don't want to remain an individual soul forever.

if you want to know my position on whether the world is real or unreal, i consider the samsaric existence to be like a dream, which is to say, real because it is a genuine and natural state of being (and all things are Being) but unreal by its transience and lack of universality. a dream appears to be false, but is based in truth.

man i just learned about nimbarka sampradaya, formerly i had never looked into dvaitadvaita merely because it has "dvaita" in it (silly me!). i find it "neat" like the other monism-lite sampradayas i mentioned yesterday.

i don't agree with sankara that Ishvara is a product of maya, or that worship of saguna brahman leads only to gradual liberation (rebirth in the highest abode where one eventually becomes liberated instead of liberation in this lifetime). I believe God is equally personal and impersonal and transcends the duality of both, and that all the major types of yoga can produce immediate or gradual liberation depending on ones degree of success. i'm a monist but i'm much more in line with kashmir shaivism.
