Devotion to God in Non-Duality

A man who considers himself a mystic asks what devotion to God looks like in the non-dual understanding since devotion feels like a relationship. Rupert responds that from the point of view of a separate self there is an outside world and we wonder what created it, so we project the idea of God at an infinite distance and devote ourself to that God. Self, world and God are a trinity that depends upon our belief in a separate self. The problem with that idea is that we stand apart, outside of God, which means we have displaced a part of God, so God is no longer God. In non-duality, the separate self is surrendered.
