I agree with this statement, i.e. that the paradox of eternal jeeva
is most easily resolved in advaita, least in dvaita, and with some
explanation in vishistAdvaita.  This is because of how the schools
define jeeva-brahman:  they are identical in advaita, jeeva is the
dependent and subordinate entity in visistAdvaita, while jeeva is
an independent but inferior entity in dvaita.  I am recalling this
from a lecture by Sri SMS Chari.  Please correct if mistaken.

Truly,
