What is the difference between character and personality?

Character - the distinguishing attributes of a person.

Personality - collective characteristic qualities of a person.

The Hindu Upanishads say that character is a set of
Attitudes of a person at a given point of time.
A person of bad character may turn good at a
Later time.

Personality is a collective memory of all the
Experiences of past births. It is accessed only
By the sub-conscious mind at the times of crisis.
This is what is capable of converting a person
Of bad character into one with good character.

Almighty does not consist of any created material
Because all that is created is subject to
Annihilation. Almighty is Infinite Consciousness.
The Hindu Advitha theory says that Atma (soul) is a
Finite piece of Parama Atma (Infinite Soul). Atma
Represents finite consciousness. The Karma sheath
Which surrounds the Atma is personality.

Character:

The peculiar quality, or the sum of qualities, by which a person or a thing is distinguished from others; the stamp impressed by nature, education, or habit; that which a person or thing really is; nature; disposition.

A man's character never changes radically from youth to old age. What happens is that circumstances bring out characteristics which have not been obvious to the superficial observer - Hesketh Pearson

Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
