The Identity of Jiveswara and Parameswara - STV Raghavacharyulu

Though there are some distinctive properties of the bodies, the individual soul (jivatma) is the same as the universal soul (Isvaratma). The quintuplication (Ananda-Vijnana-Mana-Prana-Vak) of the inexhaustible Avyaya who is ever connected with the indestructible being (Akshara) and the destructible being (kshara) is common to Jivatma and Isvaratma.

The bodies are mortal things. He who sees mortality will be dragged towards the death. His immortal soul also will be connected to death. The difference between the individual and God pertains to their bodies only and it has no place in the eternal soul. So we should divert our attention from diversity to unity and worship the undifferenced soul. We can achieve this non-duality through our mind. If any duality remains, it belongs to non-atmic part and hence to be discarded, because the creator is both mortal and immortal.
