Dear friends,
Sri Shankara says :

         [Commentary To mantra Bruhadaranyaka; Mantra 2-1-20]

 

(2) kiMtunaivAbrahma avidyAkartA cEtanO

         [Commentary To mantra Bruhadaranyaka; Mantra 1-4-10]

 

(3) brahmAvyatiriktASca

          [Commentary To mantra TaittarIya upanishad; ]

 

(4) na hi nityamuktasvarUpAtsarvajnAt 

     ISvarAt anyaH cEtanO DhatuH dvitIyaH 

     vEdAntArthanirUpaNAyAm||                      

        [Commentary To brahmasutra; 2-3-20]

What do the above BAshyavAkyas point out to?

Since no second conscious principle otherthan Atman / Brahman does  exist where is the question of EkajIva ornAnAjIva? 
With respectful namaskars,Sreenivasa Murthy
