Can you explain the difference between God and atma accordin...

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.

Krishna sums the relationship up in two verses:-

Do you ever feel like you are doing good, but would do better if people hadn’t blamed you or even bothered you? I have gotten lonely, but I always am up to something (creating my destiny).

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 do men love boobs (irrespective of big or small)?

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

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.
