Sri Madhvacarya: His Life, Religion and Philosophy
Swami Tapasyananda
Madhvacharya points out how Bhakti is both a means and an end in itself. Knowledge generates love and love strengthens knowledge. Madhvacharya is a very fine logician and holds the doctrine of the five types of difference or Bheda.
Those who die, merely suffering the woes of life like cats and dogs, are they human beings? The worthy are those who, even when agitated by the sharp interaction of pleasure and pain, are discriminating and, knowing them to be of an evanescent nature, become passionately devoted to the Atman. This is all the difference between human beings and animals.
-Swami Vivekananda
