Can you explain the difference between God and atma according to the Bhagavad-Gita?

One may ask which of these three views is correct - well each school argues its case in depth and prolixity. The summary and take away information is that Param-ātma and jīvātma are intimately and inseparably related to each other and share three qualities:-

Asti = being

Bhāti = illumination - consciousness

Why is the left keep misrepresenting what Trump said about his daughter? When asked if he would date her if he weren’t her father, it simply reflected pride in raising a smart, respectful, and loving daughter with good morals all men want that no?

Krishna sums the relationship up in two verses:-

So these verses affirm the identity of God and the Individual Self and there are three views according to the three major schools of Vedānta.

Advaita Vedānta - (Non-duality) God (Paramātma) and the individual Self (jīvātma) are one and the same = identical.

Does anyone in the Middle East even understand the reasons for the continuous conflicts as the reasons were understood when the conflicts all started? Is it possible that everything began when two ancient shepherds were playing tricks on each other?

Visiṣṭhādvaita Vedānta - (Qualified non-duality) They are one but ontologically distinct, like a flower and its smell or like a picture and its pixels.

Priyam = Love.

Dvaita Vedānta - (Duality) God and the individual Self are absolutely distinct and separate.
