In the school of Advaita Vedanta, God is considered a relative manifestation of Brahman. This is because the absolute reality, Brahman, never undergoes any change. However, it is natural for those who abide in the Self, or Brahman, to feel devotion towards God.
One who realizes one's own Brahman nature does not remain separate from Brahman. This experience is often symbolically described as "entering into Brahman." It can be likened to moving away from a mirror; when you distance yourself, you no longer see your reflection, as if the image has merged with your own essence.
A person who has renounced worldly attachments has no further duties in the world. Nevertheless, while living in the body until prarabdha karma is exhausted, he may continue to engage in all actions.
Lord Krishna clarifies: 'For such an individual, I am the refuge, and through My grace, he will attain the eternal and immutable state.'
