According to Ramānuja individual soul is .............

  • A.non-dual with a God
  • B.Reflection due to ignorance
  • C.Real enjoyer and agent
  • D.The Brahman

Answer: C

For Rāmānuja the individual soul is a real enjoyer and agent.

In Viśiṣṭādvaita the jīva is real, eternal and atomic in size. It is a knower, a doer (kartā) and an enjoyer (bhoktā) of the fruits of its actions, and it remains distinct even in liberation, as a mode or part of Brahman, who is its inner controller.

Strict non-duality with God (A), the soul as a reflection due to ignorance (B) and the soul as simply the Brahman (D) are Advaita positions that Rāmānuja rejects.
