I think unmanifest and manifest need to be understood. Like water as a substance is different from 'water' word or symbol H2O, people who started depicting such matters in form or language were really wise sages. For a primary school level, we start with a pictures of fruits vegetables or something else to make them acquainted witht the world. With their level of education they move to higher mathematics, abstract algebra or theoretical physics without pictures or forms they still are using language to think. Therefore, language or a form are key ingredients to immerse or break the illusion of this maya! Once it is broken then you can the mirage was not the water. I think bagauti is the inner power of bhagwant, which is the same thing as shown in myths in Hinduism. We need to understand the symbols and myths to get the gist of the matter. Thats why gurbani was a way to make us understand the depth behind the myth. Without understanding the language the symbol or form we may not understand the meaning/ semantics.
