This is an advanced text on Ramanuja's philosophy, presented in a discussion format. Ramanuja not only exposes the glaring inconsistencies in Shankara's Advaita, or the non-dual principle, but also offers a thoughtful reconciliation between the scriptural declaration of non-duality and the observable multiplicity of the world. By following his reasoning, you will develop a thought framework capable of addressing many other philosophical problems. In Ramanuja's system, non-dual reality does not imply the absence of other souls. Instead, it emphasizes the Supreme Being's uniqueness, which stands apart from other souls due to its abundance and transcendence. This reality, or Supreme Being, is not devoid of attributes; rather, it is the repository of unbounded, blissful qualities. Moreover, it is completely free from any inauspicious qualities or defects. Individual souls are innumerable and exist eternally, either in a manifested or an unmanifested state. If individual souls did not exist before the first creation, their unequal statuses would be inexplicable. Similarly, if they ceased to exist after dissolution, their actions would remain without fruition.
