Sri Vallabhacharya - Pushti Darshan

24 Sri Vallabhacarya and his Doctrines
always take care or you. But if: somehow or other, you forget the Lord and think of worldly matters, you will

serve as an infallible guide to all lovers or truth in the realization of the ultimate end of human existence.
Contributions to Vedantic thought
It is obvious from what has been said above that Vallabha has made a special contribution to the Vedantic
thought. The conception of Parabrahman as full of rasa, although round in the Upanishads, first received
systematic attention from the Acarya. Again the idea of Aksara Brahman, founded as it is on the basic
works received full treatment for the first time at the hands or the Acarya. The doctrine of grace, the ideal of
self. dedication, and the sublimation of human life are some of the peculiar features of the teaching or the
Acarya. And that is still more remarkable is the attitude of the Acarya towards the Vedas and the allied
literature. He has accepted the Vedas as the highest authority and followed them most faithfully, with the
result that logic can never get the better of faith. It is because of this attitude that Vallabhacarya differs from
Sankaracarya.
