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.

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.

Why do I randomly start sweating a lot in public (while waiting in line, in a new class, etc.) then start sweating more because I’m embarrassed that I’m sweating so much? Is this social anxiety?

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

Asti = being

Priyam = Love.

Is it common for people to fall in love with someone else while still married? If so, why do they choose to stay in their marriage?

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

Bhāti = illumination - consciousness

Krishna sums the relationship up in two verses:-

What does 'Whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys’ mean (Ezekiel 23:20)?
