Brahman

Advaita

Uddhava said, ‘Krishna! Nothing is stable in life.  Everything is fleeting.  That is why, you have to realize the Brahman’.

Krishna, ‘Oh! By the way, what is Brahman, Uddhava?’

Uddhava, ‘Krishna, are you kidding?  You are verily the Brahman!’

Dvaita 

Uddhava, a student of Brihaspati was with the Brahman, Lord Krishna all along, and yet did not get Prema Bhakti.  Prema Bhakti cannot be attained without a Guru.  Uddhava had to take tutelage from the Guru namely the Gopis in order to realize Prema Bhakti for Krishna.
