 At the same time, "cit" and "acit" are not different from Isvara, because they cannot exist independently of Him.Isvara is independent and exists by Himself, while "cit" and "acit" exist in dependence upon Him.Difference means a kind of existence which is separate but dependent, (para-tantra-satta-bhava); while non-difference means impossibility of separate existence (svatantra-satta-bhava).
