The Dwaita School of Philosophy argues that there is an inherent and absolute five-fold difference in Reality, between one soul and another, between the soul and God, between God and matter, between the soul and matter, and between matter and matter. These are not differentiations between the entities but also signify the inherent fact that they are not equal to eachother in any merit or status. Even though we may consider that this may be partial, it is yet again reflected in the existing world...that is, we differentiate between body and mind, male and female, etc. Any sort of unity, whether it be mystical or ontological(philosophical), between the individual self and God is impossible in Dvaita...
Liberation consists of experiencing one's essential nature in the reflection of God's glory. Such liberation is achieved through bhakti or loving devotion. Also, it tells about the very insignificant nature of this body after death. Hence, the soul reaches the abode of the god, but does not become god himself...
