The human incarnation is always the double-edged sword with God on one side and the liberated soul on the other side

The human incarnation is always the double-edged sword with God on one side and the liberated soul on the other side (Dvasuparna… Veda). For the sake of the atheists (purvamimamsakas) God in Shankara stood with the twist i.e. Advaita (soul is God concept). For the sake of matured theists the liberated soul in Shankara stood with prayers to the Lord. In the time of Ramanuja, the situation developed because in course of time the LKG students entered college and the liberated soul alone with devotion and prayers to Lord is sufficient. Therefore, the inseparable and constantly associated liberated soul (Adishesha) without God came down to implement the advance part of the program, which is the devotion. The devoted souls were further matured and they became eligible to do the selfless service to God due to intensified devotion and this is the final university level where a separately existing servant of God (Vayu) has come down as Madhva.
