The statement that they are not eternal needs an explanation, The pots are not eternal but the mud is , that is relatively speaking. In visishtadvaita also where it is said that everything is real, it is accepted that the forms are not eternal. Nothing is destroyed permanently as when the pot id destroyed it exists as potsherds and later as n mud. And even when all forms are destroyed they exist in unmanifest form in Brahman. In this sense all beings are not eternal. As the real self of all is the Lord all beings as such do not exist in Him as the body , mind and intellect do not exist in Athman which has no contact whatsoever with them. That is, when you see the mud or gold you do not see the pot or the ornament. Similarly when you see the Lord everywhere as the azvar says 'uNNum soru parugum neer thinnum vettrilaiyum ellaam kaNNan, When one sees the Lord other things do not exist , meaning they do not count. In other words they are not in Me means that everything is the Lord Himself and has no separate existence.
