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.
Asti = being

Priyam = Love.
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:-
Krishna sums the relationship up in two verses:-

Bhāti = illumination - consciousness
Dvaita Vedānta - (Duality) God and the individual Self are absolutely distinct and separate.
Advaita Vedānta - (Non-duality) God (Paramātma) and the individual Self (jīvātma) are one and the same = identical.
