The Sacrifice Performed by Dakṣa
271
They are three, and therefore they are separate, but at the same time they are one. This is the philosophy of simultaneous oneness and difference, which is called  acintya-bhedābheda-tattva . The example given in the  Brahma-saṁhitā  is that milk and yogurt are simultaneously one and different; both are milk, but the yogurt has become changed. In order to achieve real peace, one should see everything and every living entity, including Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva, as nondifferent from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. No one is independent.

Everything is an expansion of  Viṣṇu 's energy.

PURPORT
Lord  Viṣṇu  should be offered everything, and His  prasādam  should be distributed to all other demigods. This practice is still followed in the temple of Jagannātha at Purī. There are many temples of demigods around the main temple of Jagannātha, and the  prasādam  which is offered first to
