The Vedantic visions

There are three positions that religions of the world take vis-à-vis God. These are that: (1) God is separate from His creation (2) God is linked to His creation and (3) God and His creation is the same. These are the positions of Dvaita, Vishista Advaita and Advaita respectively in the school of Vedanta. These positions are not contradictory positions but positions from three vantage points that afford celebration of divinity.
