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

Priyam = Love.

Krishna sums the relationship up in two verses:-

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

Why did you put a guy’s dick in your mouth the first time?

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:-

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.

Asti = being

Bhāti = illumination - consciousness

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