Continuing the Purport: to 1.7.5

* Both the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the living beings are undoubtedly qualitatively one, but the Lord is the controller of the illusory energy, whereas the living entity is controlled by the illusory energy. Thus the Lord and the living beings are simultaneously one and different.
* The Mayawada philosophy is completely being rejected here, as is being seen directly from this verse.
* Cream that Srila Prabhupada is giving in this purport:
a) The root cause of the suffering of the living entity -
b) the remedial measures - the Lord is the controller of the material energy
c) what is the ultimate goal
* Being conditioned by the external energy, the living entity is suffering due to maya
* Living entity should have an endeavor to go back home, back to Godhead.
* Srimad Bhagavatam treats the conditioned soul with an aim to the goal of life, that is to back home back to Godhead.
