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

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

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:-

Priyam = Love.

Why can't my adopted sister accept she is not part of my family because she isn't related? Why can't she stop calling my parents mum and dad?

Bhāti = illumination - consciousness

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:-

Are there any political parties or groups that have a mix of conservative and liberal beliefs? Why are they not as prominent in the media?

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

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
