Everything in life is mandatory (farajiyat) till the end. The
entire worldly life is mandatory; it is an effect and nothing else.
But people believe everything runs at their own volition and will
(marajiyat). On one side is adwaita and on the other side is
dwaita, and this world is something completely different and
peculiar (trutium, third factor, effect). When one is in dwaita, he
remains reasonable. The Self is the state of dwaitadwaita and all
else is trutium; all else is nothing but sansar; sheer worldly life.
The relationship of gneya-gnata (the known and the knower) is
dwaita and one is adwaita as the Self. Therefore, the Self is
dwaitadwaita and everything else is trutium (the third factor).
Marajiyat, that which is of one’s own independent free will
(purusharth) is not considered trutium. That which is mandatory
(farajiyat) is trutium.
