Bheda-Abheda

Pancha Bheda- 5 Fold Differences: Acharya Madhwa tells us that there is bheda among the following.

1. Jeeva(atma)-Isha(paramatma)
2. Jeeva-Jeeva
3. Jeeva-Jada(matter)
4. Jada-Jada
5. Jada-Isha

Isha is only one. ie. there is only One supreme God (Vishnu) so there is no question of differences there. It's important to realise that there is actually abheda or oneness among his many infinite forms.

There is no oneness among the atma and paramatma. The jeeva is identical i.e. it is also sat-chit-ananda atma like the paramatma but the big difference is that while the gnana and ananda of the atma is dependant on the paramatma, He is not dependant on anyone. Everyone is under his control but there is none who can control Him. He is full of gnana- ananda at all times at all places in all forms
