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

Priyam = Love.

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:-

Bhāti = illumination - consciousness

Why do people who aren't trans feel the need to put pronouns next to their name or picture? It seems so cringeworthy to me, to participate in that SJW paradigm of thought, like they are a spineless person who just goes along with the trends.

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.

Krishna sums the relationship up in two verses:-

What are the extra benefits of a smart TV?

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.

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

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

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?
