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

Krishna sums the relationship up in two verses:-

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

Asti = being

How can I navigate a romantic relationship as a trans person, and what are some common challenges that I might face?

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.

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.

Why does my dog keep licking at her privates now? She is 7 years old and has barely started licking there. The vet said she’s fine but she keeps doing that.

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

Priyam = Love.

Bhāti = illumination - consciousness
