Vishnu - Nagesh D. Sonde

eing „p`aduBaa-vaao hro: savao- naOva p`akRtdoihna: | inadaao-YagauNasaMpUNaa- dSa-ya%yanyaqaOva tu ||‟ as described by
Madhva, he is the sole Supreme Person in whom all the dualities come to be
resolved. In Brihad Aranyaka (II.v.14), the supreme state of Vishnus‟s Being is
described as, „yaonaodM savMa- ivajaanaait tM kona ivajaanaIyaat\ |‟.
Upanishad :

Distinct and irreconcilable are these two, ignorance and what is spoken as
Wisdom. Eager for Wisdom are you Nachiketa, for no attractions born of desires
influenced you.

In the midst of ignorance, considering themselves to be wise and learned, the fools
tread the crooked path, like the blind being lead by the blind.

Incapable of being heard by many, and even when heard is not understood,
wondrous is the speaker and skillful is the recipient ; wondrous is he who knows
from the one who is skillful.
