The first concept of god is the personal god whom we love, adore and worship. We are talking about the personal god of the universe but this god is different from the universe. The way christna put it in this chapter is that i have two natures. One is my higher nature, which is all sentient beings, whose natureis i myself. Am i as consciousness existenc plase? And the lower nature as this entire universe. So god and the universe and all sentient beings are an organic unity. In fact, we are all in god and inseparable from god. We are all that separated this way. But god is not the universe.
