The Self, one's real nature, alone exists and is real. The world, the soul and God are superimpositions on it Namaste, The Sages say that on bodiless moksha the world disappears, as never having have happened. So even the appearance didn't happen. For how can a realised person/God be not aware of creation---it isn't there that's why-------If it isn't there then there is no need for the Saguna/Self either, these are all mental constructs. The Truth is silent Nir guna Brahman-------Only. Bhakti is of two kinds real and egoless and the other is emotional devotion. This is based on the fear of separation from God, which is of course imaginary. Most Bhaktis need something, they need someone to love, to be loved, to be not alone, to put responsibility outside of themselves for their actions and realisation.
