The position based on Brihadaranyaka 1.4.10 and bhashya remains unchanged.
Brahman alone is affected by avidya and assumes jiva-hood and thereby
finite individual-hood.

Thus there are no two positions.

The thinking that there are many individuals inhabiting and experiencing
the 'same' world is also part of the samsara concocted due to avidya.

When a jiva transcends avidya such questions no longer remain for him. So,
whoever thinks he is an individual among many such persons experiencing
samsara has to overcome his avidya in order to be free from such thinking.
