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

Bhāti = illumination - consciousness

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

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.

Measles case confirmed in Johnson Co. - KCRG

Priyam = Love.

Krishna sums the relationship up in two verses:-

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:-

I'm a 28-year-old guy who has never been in a relationship, nor can I seem to find someone who wants to be in one with me. Why do I feel like a freak?

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

Asti = being

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

If sea levels were rising, wouldn't the acreage of coastal salt marshes increase? Are they?
