What does Hinduism teach about the soul and its relationship to God?

In Hindu philosophy there exists a universal soul known as ‘param atma’, which is another way of describing God. Each living being also has a soul known as ‘jiv atma’. Essentially the param atma and jiv atma are the same, signifying the oneness of everything in and with the universe. Theologically this implies that God exists within each living being and we can reach Him by turning inwards.
