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

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

Krishna sums the relationship up in two verses:-

Bhāti = illumination - consciousness

Delta Force selection is originally based on SAS selection, so why is there no brutal jungle phase for Delta Force? It seems like it's based only on the Brecon Beacons section.

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:-

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

Asti = being

Which one is better to guys, boobs or butt?

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.

Priyam = Love.

What is a common thought that keeps people up at night? Why do some people experience this?
