Internal Tensions
Where each persona's working synthesis strains against itself.
Dvaita's graded liberation doctrine — that souls have eternally distinct natures, some destined for higher and some for lower liberation, some never to be liberated — has been controversial within and beyond Hinduism. The tradition has been smaller and less internationally visible than Advaita, but it has remained continuously vital in its South Indian heartland for 800 years.
