So what does the absolute truth be one in synthesis and second in analysis mean? Answer it means that the energy and the energetic are having a achint bheda it means that whatever affects the energy does not necessarily reflect on the energetic. So it is like the oneness and difference they are used to stress different points. So for example when we say that there is an exam and we have multiple choice big questions now the teacher who has taught the correct answers earlier has herself given now the wrong alternatives.
So the teacher is the source of the wrong alternatives. But if the student takes the wrong alternatives and fails is the teacher the cause of the student’s failing? No. That is because the student did not study.
And because the student did not study she did not know the right answer that’s why the student took the wrong answer. So in that sense we could say the teacher is the cause of all causes. If the teacher had not given the wrong alternatives student wouldn’t have failed.
But without the teacher’s teaching without the teacher’s setting the paper nothing would have happened. So in that sense ultimately everything that happens within the educational system that is under the jurisdiction of the teacher. So in that sense we could say there is oneness in it.
But still everything is not one in the sense that the teacher is the we could say applying this to Krishna Krishna is the cause of all causes. But Krishna is not the cause of all results. So all the causes in the sense that that all the whatever came in the question paper that has come from the teacher.
But a student’s failing is not because of the teacher. So the temptations that are there in this world they are also coming from Krishna. And there are good looking people their beauty is also coming from Krishna.
So we can say that Ajamil saw that Shudrani that Shudrani that was Krishna’s arrangement. But Krishna did not want Ajamil to fall. It was Ajamil who chose to fall.
So Krishna is the cause of all causes. His Upadrishta is Anumanta. But he is not the cause of all effects.
The effects are the result of our own freedom. Either right choice or wrong choice. So in that sense in synthesis nothing happens outside Krishna’s jurisdiction.
So in that sense the absolute truth is one because everything that is happening is within the jurisdiction of the interaction of his energies. He says that after telling that the Paraprakti is there Aparaprakti is there 7.4 and 7.5 and in 7.6 he states that everything that exists in this world is a combination of these energies. But immediately after that this is 7.6 and then 7.14 he says therefore you surrendered.
So then he talks about people who don’t surrender to him. So the point is that Krishna is not forcing us to act in particular ways. And when we say in analysis the different energies are different means each energy has its own the Jivas have their own free will and by the misuse of the free will they get certain consequences and the absolute truth is not responsible for the consequences.
In 5.1 Krishna says that I am not I don’t accept the good or the bad that anyone does. Souls act deluded by ignorance. Deluded by ignorance they act accordingly.
So in this way in analysis nothing happens outside in synthesis nothing happens outside Krishna’s jurisdiction but in analysis Krishna is not responsible for everything that happens within his jurisdiction also because he has given free will to people and people can use their free will accordingly.
