Anyway since you are particular about it, reference may be made to BSB 2-1-14 on sUtra ** तदनन्यत्वमारम्भणशब्दादिभ्यः ** (tadananyatvamArambhaNashabdAdibhyaH). My understanding of अनन्यत्वम् (ananyatvam) is that the relationship between Brahman and Creation is one of कार्यकारण विलक्षण (kAryakAraNa vilakShaNa). Not one of कार्यकारण सम्बन्ध (kAryakAraNa sambandha). Thus Creation is a composite of AdhisththAna and Adhyastha. The two enjoy different levels of Reality (विषमसत्ता) (viShamasattA). They are the two parts I was referring to.

Thanks for your clarification. I agree with your observation. And it has been reiterated by me innumerable times kArya-kAraNya ananyatvaM is not to prove kAraNatvaM to brahman (cause of jagat) and its effect jagat and to prove its absolute non-difference by keeping it side by side!! kArya-kAraNa prakriya, should lead us to shruti siddAnta AtmaikatvaM since all methodologies are basically adhyArOpita on brahman to prove its nirvisheshatvaM ,,nirvikAratvaM and nirguNatvaM.
Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
