Madhvaon Brahma Sūtra 2.3.47

“ These are the essential (non-different) parts of the Supreme. Being which are identical with the glorious Lord of perfect bliss, (and appear) in every age (to) pro- tect and bless the world afflicted by the foes of India.” “ The spiritual existence (other than the Lord) which is of a subtle character, not manifested, and has not extri- cated itself from the bondage of qualities, on account of not having heard of, known and meditated on, the abso- lute Lord, is the soul that has to undergo transmigration (Bhagavata). The following is in the Varaha Purana, “ The part (or Amsa) is of two kinds, viz., the essential part (which does not differ from the whole), and the (distinct) part (which is quite distinct from the whole). In the first case, whatever is the nature, power, or the condition (supremacy, etc.), of the whole, is also the nature, etc., of the part and there is not an iota of difference between •the whole and its part That which is called the distinct part (the part separate) is of limited power and possessed of similarity (similitude) in a very small degree.” “ There is no one that is equal to Thee, whence could there be any one far superior to Thee.’ ” (Gita XI. 43).
