The Garudapurana clarifies on a Bhagavata statement

In the Bhagavata the knowledge required for liberation is stated as follows:

सर्ववेदान्तसारं यद् ब्रह्मात्मैकत्वलक्षणम् ।

वस्तु अद्वितीयं तन्निष्ठं कैवल्यैकप्रयोजनम् ॥ १२ ॥ 12.13.12

It is said that knowledge of the Identity of Brahman and Atman leads to liberation called Kaivalya. We can easily understand the meaning of the word Brahmatmaikatvalakshanam here. However, looking at the words of this verse in the Garuda Purana, we can conclude that this is the meaning of the Bhagavata saying:

गरुडपुराणम्/आचारकाण्डः/अध्यायः २३५

https://sa.wikisource.org/s/8cz

ब्रह्मात्मनोर्यदैकत्वं स योगश्चोत्तमोत्तमः ।

बाह्यरूपैर्न मुक्तिस्तु चान्तस्थैः स्याद्यमादिभिः ॥ १,२३५.५३ ॥

Here the knowledge of unity between Brahma and Atma is stated. This knowledge is the fruit of the best yoga.

And in that Bhagavata sloka it says that the Atman is ‘without-a-second, adviteeya. The Garuda Purana also translates this saying as:

पश्यति द्वैतरहितं समाधिः सोऽभिधीयते ।

मनः सङ्कल्परहितमिन्द्रियार्थान्न चिन्तयेत् ॥ १,२३५.३३ ॥

In samadhi the yogi realizes the dvaita-free Brahman.

So we get this clarification in the Garuda Purana for those two words ‘Brahmatmaikatvalakshanam’ and ‘vastu advaiteeyam’ which are the essence of that very important verse of Bhagavata.

The Advaita proposition elaborated in several chapters of the Garuda Purana can be seen from this Kannada article:

Even a perusal of the Sanskrit verses in the above article will give an understanding of their purport.
