Okay. So, this positing serves a purpose. Fine.
Now, do you feel that Duality(as "other") is there in real Devotion? Isn't devotees lose the identity of "I"(subject) and only God remains in pure devotion?
(Isn't pure devotion - Thinking God, Singing about God, Loving God, Serving God, God-God-God, and NO conscious of "I/me"?)
Also, just because this illusionizing serves the purpose, does that mean duality is there? Are we comparing "Real Duality" with "No/Non-Duality" (or) comparing "Illusionized Duality" with "Non-Duality", and say both are there?
