The Vedas and Puranas say that the Lord possesses saktis/potentia, so whoever says otherwise is an offender/aparadhi.
Madhvacarya says that the Lord is saktiman (The possessor of all potencies).
Difference between jiva and jiva; jiva and inert matter (Maya); jiva and Bhagavan; inert matter (Maya) and inert matter (Maya); inert matter (Maya) and Bhagavan.
About the different humors of the jivas, the liberated and the conditioned, panca-bheda (five differences).
The conscious being is the one who desires, feels and knows.
Sri Madhvacarya is the Acarya of our Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya Sampradaya.
Remember the name of our Sampradaya, which means receiving pure Bhakti in a unified manner.
The Four Vaisnava Sampradayas: Sri, Brahma, Rudra and Sanaka. We must receive diksa from Masters of one of these Sampradayas, otherwise the mantra will not bear fruit.
Sloka that prophesies and establishes which are the authorized Sampradayas: sampradaya-vihina ye mantras te nisphala matah… (Padma Purana).
They are called Vaisnavas (worshipers of Visnu), Saivas (worshipers of Siva), Sauras (worshipers of Surya), Ganapathas (worshipers of Ganesa), Saktas (worshipers of Durga Devi). But basically all jivas are part and parcel of the Lord, therefore they are all Vaisnavas.
The living entities have forgotten their real identity.
Sloka proving the identity of the jiva: jīvera ‘svarūpa’ haya — kṛṣṇera ‘nitya-dāsa’… (CC Madhya-lila 20.108-109).
