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

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.

Bhāti = illumination - consciousness

Am I the unique Gen Z if I dislike TikTok and prefer the 2000s technology trends like retro consoles, CRTs, and CD/DVDs?

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

Asti = being

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

How can Democrats not feel hypocritical when they urge Trump not to be vengeful should be become president when the Democrats are trying to put Trump into prison?

Priyam = Love.

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.

Krishna sums the relationship up in two verses:-
