The difference is quite simple. Even if we accept bagavans shareera as bhautika. The feeling of hunger, pain ,death etc are all effects of prarbdha karma. No pain can be experienced without any prarabdha karma. So if we want to say that bagavan had experienced hunger, pain in his body. We will have to admit that there is prarabdha karma for bagavan. Which is not at all acceptable

Hare Krishna

Yes it is not acceptable but don't we have to think and analyze the birth of jeeva, god's / Ishwara's intention behind creation, the jeeva's agency, his dependency on Ishwara, Ishwara's omnipotence, his vaishkamya, nairghuNya (partiality and mercilessness) etc. etc. strictly from the point of view of shankara's non-dualism (Advaita perspective)??  In short ultimately from the advaitic transcendental view point : it is only owning to the conditioning associate projected by 'avidyA' that the convention of the ruler (Ishwara) and the ruled (jeeva) obtains.  We should not forget this even transactionally accepting the difference between Ishwara and jeeva cautions bhaAshyakAra : ityetadapi naiva vismartavyaM.  

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
