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

Priyam = Love.

Asti = being

Krishna sums the relationship up in two verses:-

Has anyone experienced an out of the body experience, as a child, years before you had ever heard the term or understood the implications?

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:-

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

Bhāti = illumination - consciousness

Astronomers thought the Milky Way was doomed to crash into Andromeda. Now they’re not so sure - The Conversation

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.

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.

I broke up with my boyfriend because he wasn’t transparent about his past, it hurts me and he doesn’t care. I told him in the beginning of our relationship that it was a deal breaker for me what do I do?
