	* '''Refuting Māyāvāda - Spirit Cannot Be Divided:''' The Māyāvāda philosophy that the individual soul is a fragment broken off from the whole spirit by illusion is philosophically untenable, for spirit, unlike matter, cannot be divided into fragments. The individual soul was always an individual, eternally a particle; it was never part of an undifferentiated spiritual mass. The blissful aspect of spiritual realization is also absent from the impersonalist's conception, which cannot account for the rasas, or loving exchanges, between the individual soul and the Supreme.		* '''Refuting Māyāvāda - Spirit Cannot Be Divided:''' The Māyāvāda philosophy that the individual soul is a fragment broken off from the whole spirit by illusion is philosophically untenable, for spirit, unlike matter, cannot be divided into fragments.

	* '''Acintya-bhedābheda-tattva - One in Quality, Different in Quantity:''' The perfect philosophy that reconciles the oneness and difference of the individual soul and the Supreme is acintya-bhedābheda-tattva: everything is simultaneously one with and different from the Supreme. The soul is one with the Supreme Spirit Whole in quality, sharing the same spiritual nature, but eternally different in quantity. In this understanding, the natural function of the particle is not merger but loving service to the complete whole.		* '''Acintya-bhedābheda-tattva - One in Quality, Different in Quantity:''' The perfect philosophy that reconciles the oneness and difference of the individual soul and the Supreme is acintya-bhedābheda-tattva: everything is simultaneously one with and different from the Supreme.

	The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, is the complete spiritual whole — sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha, the form of eternal being, knowledge, and bliss — and the individual living entity is an eternal atomic particle of that spiritual whole. Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches this truth as the foundational understanding of the relationship between the Supreme Lord and the living entity, drawing it from the Bhagavad-gītā and the entire body of Vedic knowledge. The individual soul is qualitatively identical with the Supreme Spirit Whole — possessing the same spiritual nature, eternal existence, and consciousness — yet quantitatively infinitesimal, incapable of ever equaling or merging into the whole as the Māyāvādī philosophers incorrectly propose. Māyāvāda philosophy, which holds that the whole spirit is divided by illusion into individual souls who must ultimately merge back and lose their individuality, is firmly rejected by Śrīla Prabhupāda as philosophically untenable, for spirit, unlike matter, cannot be divided into fragments. The correct understanding is acintya-bhedābheda-tattva: the living entity is simultaneously one with and different from the Supreme Spirit Whole, and its eternal function, as a particle, is to serve the complete whole through loving devotional service.

	* '''Kṛṣṇa as the Complete Spiritual Whole:''' Kṛṣṇa is the supreme spirit whole, fully complete in all His features, name, form, quality, pastimes, entourage and personality, all of which are identical with Him and entirely spiritual in nature. Unlike the conditioned soul, Kṛṣṇa has no material body separate from His soul; He is spiritually whole, without division or differentiation between His form and His essence.		* '''Kṛṣṇa as the Complete Spiritual Whole:''' Kṛṣṇa is the supreme spirit whole, fully complete in all His features, name, form, quality, pastimes, entourage and personality, all of which are identical with Him and entirely spiritual in nature.
