    other then 2...

    hariḥ o
    ~~~~~~
    namasté

    When I look from my eyes I do not see two (dvaita¹); I see the many forms of a multi-various universe. Why then call it dvaita ? It seems apropos to call it aneka¹ or the many?

    What then can be the logic of calling it the two ?

    iti śivaṁ

    words
    • dvaita - duality , duplicity , dualism ;
      • dvaita = dvi + tā = two + tā = tad = thus
      • some look at this as dvi + vāda or 'two + speaking about'
      • others say vāda is discussion , controversy , dispute , contest , quarrel , so then dvi + vāda becomes 'the discussion and dispute about two'
      • vāda is rooted (√) in 'vad' - speaking of or about
    • aneka - not one; many, much, separated

    यतस्त्वं शिवसमोऽसि
    yatastvaṁ śivasamo'si
    because you are identical with śiva
