can somebody explain why only one method at a time can be active within each thread running in JVM? Why not two or three, but only one?

Each thread runs code synchronously. A thread is only given more work to do once it has finished it’s current allocation of work.
As to why there can only be one method ‘active’ at a time, a method can call other methods or return. Once a method has returned, it is obviously no longer active, similarly, once a method calls another, the called method becomes the active one.
