Hare Krsna Dattaswami ji,
Please read the Introduction to Bhagavad-gita As It Is carefully:
What is this consciousness?
This consciousness is "I am." Then what am I?
In contaminated consciousness, "I am" means "I am the Lord of all I survey. I am the enjoyer."
The world revolves because every living being thinks that he is the Lord and creator of the material world. Material consciousness has two psychic divisions. One is that I am the creator, and the other is that I am the enjoyer. But actually, the Supreme Lord is both the creator and the enjoyer, and the living entity, being part and parcel of the Supreme Lord, is neither the creator nor the enjoyer, but a cooperator.
Bhagavad-gita As It Is
Introduction
Hare Krsna
One can become equal to God only in this aspect You become equal to God in this state of enjoyment
This above statement is part of bogus philosophy of mavayada impersonalism. The topmost teaching of Lord Sri Chaitanya, Madhwacarya and other acaryas in Vaishnava parampara is that jiva and bhagavan are distinct entities eternally and can never become one in tattva. To think otherwise is the bogus poisonous impersonal philosophy. We cannot tolerate mayavada philosophy in these vaishnava forums.
Devotion without cause will be artificial
Above statement is complete non-sense. Devotion without cause can be pure devotional service. The following is one of the definitions of pure devotion
sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo
yato bhaktir adhokṣaje
ahaituky apratihatā
yayātmā suprasīdati
The supreme occupation [dharma] for all humanity is that by which men can attain to loving devotional service unto the transcendent Lord. Such devotional service must be unmotivated and uninterrupted to completely satisfy the self. ( SB 1.2.6)
Please understand that your monism, impersonalism are not welcome in these forums. Kindly refrain from posting anything even remotely related to bogus philosophies. Please treat this as your First Warning

We do not need any bogus person pretending to be god here. Jiva can never become god, not in conditioned state or liberated state, not in material world or spiritual world. Please take your monistic mayavada bogus philosophy and leave.
