Shree Narayananji - Pranaams - As I understand, merging with the
Lord is not the concept of advaita either. Even in adviata Lord or
iiswara is sarvaj~naa and jiiva is alpaj~naa and there is no question
of merging of the two.
adviata means non-duality while merging implies two to start with.
Non-duality is only in terms of the essential substratum that
pervades everything - That is Brahman. Without going into details,
in adviata, Iswara and Brahman are not the same.
Hari OM!
