Ramanuja considered that although Brahman was the supreme entity, it had a few properties and differences. As for the opinions by Shankara and other famous thinkers that there was not any property or difference in the supreme substance, he said in 1, 1, 1 of “*Brahmsatra-bhashya*” as follows: “The people who proposed that there is no difference has no right to assert this or that a kind of entity proven because all the correct ways of knowing have the differential things as the objects.”
