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:-

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

Krishna sums the relationship up in two verses:-

Why did my ex move on so quickly?

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

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

How do atheists explain the fact that when I pray to God, I feel better and I get a feeling of comfort? Doesn’t this prove that a God exists?

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.

Asti = being
