whole.Universe according to Ramanuja is not bhramamaya, illusory but
Brahmamaya, as there is no other reality than Brahman, the inner self of
everything.

The universal or all embracing character of the Visishtadvaita
philosophy arises out of the assimilation therin of all cardinal
principles of all systems. Only their theory of reality and
subsequently their theory of causation is opposed by Ramanuja . The
sarira-sariri bhava accomodates all the commendable aspects of others
since everything constitutes the sarira of Brahman. Brahmaathmakathva,
Brahman as the indwelling Self of all, implies unity and harmony . The
basic principles of even the heterodox schools like Buddhism and Jainism
like ahimsa find a place in Visishtadvaita.Likewise the thathvas, the
evolutes of prakrthi of Sankhya,.the discipline of Yoga and dialectics
of Nyaya-viseshika have a place in Visishtadvaita. Ramanuja is opposed
only to the theory of causation of these schools. That is why in
Sribhashya the criticism of Ramanuja of the non-vedantic schools of
Philosophy is levelled against their theory of causation, based on their
theory of reality.
