Jnanadeva and the Warkari Movement/Prof. Dr. Fred Dallmayr
Note 16
...In Jnanadeva's words: "the non-dual enters of its own accord the courtyard of duality; and
the unity deepens along with the growth of difference."
Amritanubhava IX, 29. See Bahirat The Philosophy of Jnanadeva, p. 235, and also his
comments on sphurtivada and chidvilasa, pp. 17-18, 74-75, 103, 129. Borrowing a suggestion from Heidegger, one might say that the divine (Shiva-Shakti) is the world and its
myriad things – not in a static-metaphysical but in a transitive-ontological sense. (The difference between Jnanadeva and Ramanuja seems to reside chiefly in the fact that, for
Ramanuja, the relation between God and the world was akin to that between spirit and body – in a modified version of Samkhyanism. For Jnanadeva, by contrast, the mind- body
nexus cannot even serve as a distant analogy to the bond of parents and offspring and their loving care.)
