Dear Sada ji,

Another translation: //When you eat the mango it becomes a part of your
body. This is vishishtaadvaita. //
Sayujya moksha is admitted and the difference is not lost.

This is off the cuff so I can't cite shastras
for you, but sAyujya means communion with Brahman
and absorption in Brahma-ananda-anubhava, but not
absorption to the extent of total loss of identity.
It carries a connotation of intimate union as would
be had by two lovers. I don't think there is much
support for it meaning aikya as it is derived
from sa + yuj, where the latter dhAtu indicates
a binding together. //
