What is visishtadvaita?

Devotee: What is visishtadvaita?

Ramana Maharishi:  The same as this.

Devotee:  They do not admit maya?

Ramana Maharishi:  Sarvam is Brahman, we say. They repeat Brahman remains qualified (visishta) in all.

Devotee:  They say that the world is a reality.

Ramana Maharishi:  We say so too. Acharya has only said, “Find out the reality behind the world.” What is called illusion by one is called changefulness by another. The end is the same in both.
