As long as one is within the region of Maya, so long the idea of duality will no doubt remain. Space-time-causation, or name-and-form, is what is called Maya.
When one goes beyond this Maya, then only the Oneness is realized, and then man is neither a dualist nor an Advaitist -- to him all is One.
All this difference that you notice between a Bhakta and a Jnani is in the preparatory stage -- one sees God outside, and the other sees Him within.
