What did Madhvacharya argue is dependent on Brahman?

  • The Material World

  • Time

  • Individual Soul

  • Spiritual Energy

Answer

The answer, individual soul, refers to the concept of jiva in Madhvacharya's philosophy. Madhvacharya argued that the individual soul is dependent on Brahman, the supreme reality, for its existence and activity. The individual soul is distinct from Brahman but eternally related to it. This relationship is one of difference-in-identity (bheda-abheda), where the soul is both different from and non-different from Brahman.
