संदर्भ में पढ़ेंGosvāmīs, Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī has presented six theses, which combinedly are
called Ṣaṭ-sandharbha. Of the six sandharbhas the one known as Tattva-sandharbha
is a practical presentation of this doctrine and explains Vedānta-sūtra strictly
according to the principles of acintya-bhedābheda-tattva. Later on, Śrī Baladeva
Vidyābhūṣaṇa took this doctgrine and explained Vedānta-sūtra strictly according
to that principle of acintya-bhedābheda-tattva.

Introduction by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa
satyaṁ jñānam anantaṁ
brahma-śivādi-stutaṁ bhajad-rūpam
govindaṁ tam acintyaṁ
hetum adoṣaṁ namasyāmaḥ
Lord Govinda is the Supreme Brahman, the absolute transcendental reality. He is
transcendental knowledge. He is the original cause of all causes. He is limitless and
faultless. Lord Śiva and all the demigods praise Him. The devotees worship His
transcendental form. We offer our respectful obeisances unto Him.

All glories to Śrīla Vyāsadeva, the son of Satyavatī. Vyāsadeva is the incarnation of
Lord Hari, and He is very dear to the devotees. With the effulgence of His Vedānta-
sūtra He has dispelled the darkness of ignorance and revealed the truth.
During the Dvāpara-yuga the Vedas were destroyed. The Supreme Personality of
Godhead, responding to the prayers of Lord Brahmā and the other bewildered
demigods, appeared as Kṛṣṇa Dvaipāyana Vyāsa, restored the Vedas, divided them
into parts, and composed the Vedānta-sūtra in four chapters to explain them. This
is described in the Skanda Purāṇa.
At that time many fools propounded various misinterpretations of the Vedas.
Some said that the highest goal of life was to act piously in order to reap the
benefits of good karma. Some said that Lord Viṣṇu is Himself bound by the laws of
karma. Some maintained that the fruits of good karma, such as residence in svarga
(the upper material planets) were eternal. Some said the jīvas (individual living
entities) and prakṛti (material energy) acted independently, without being subject
to any higher power, or God. Some said the jīvas (individual living entities) are
actually the Supreme Brahman (God), and that the jīvas are simply bewildered
about their identity, or that the jīvas are a reflection of God, or separated fragments
