shri gokulesho jayati
Bhakti in Pushtimarg is of four types. Nirgun, saatvik, rajsi, and tamasi. There are each 84 vaishnavas for all four types. ShriMahaprabhuji's 84 sevaka are all the types of Nirgun Bhakti can be learned through 84-vaishnavas Vartas. and 252-vaishnavas vartas sevakas of Shri Gusaiji quotes the other three types each of 84 vaishnavas.
Nirgun Bhakti means having no expectations except the Sukh of their Shri Thakurji. THey are abide for shri Guruji's Aagyna. The Dinta Bhav is at the highest level.

jai Shri Krishan
As i know there are two type of bhakti , one sagun and the other nirgun.
Nirgun bhakhi is mainly suitable to gyanis and difficult to conceptulise by an ordinary sevak.
OM is their base line
Sagun bhati have aadhar and easy & simple to follow. As, we have Thakorji- supreme. Similarly other cult have their own.

Jay Shri Krishna.
Except Thakurji's comfort no other thought in action and in mind.Nothing for personal.
GOPIES are best example of NIRGUN BHAKTI.
When Naradji went to GOPI and ask for Charanraj for THakurji's stomack pain but the one who gives will go to NARAK (HELL).All the Gopies gave their Charanraj without fearing for HELL.
Dattubhai's Jay Shri Krishna.

Jai Shri Krishna,
NIRGUN BHAKTI.
The devotion of Bhakti must be without any object in view and without any desires of fruit. It should be accompanied by Love with a view to serve HIM (God).
It should be directed towards the Purshottam who resides in the hearts of all but not towards His incarnations.
This Nirgun Bhakti has been established by Shrimad Vallabhachayaji.

Jai Shri Krishna.
For the examples let me give you the best one
That uninterrupted and continious motion of the mind, towards HIM (GOD) Who resides in the hearts of all, free from the impediments created by the Vedas and Smritis.
Like the flow of the GANGES (GANGA)
which makes its way through mountains etc, and goes to the sea, is called Nirgun Bhakti.

Jai Shri Krishna,
Love of Gopies for Shri Krishna is best described as PREM LAKSHANA BHAKTI. by our Shri Vallabh.

KINDS OF DEVOTION:
Because of differences in temperament, Guna and paths four kinds of devotion are chiefly narrated in Sri Bhagavata Purana.
1. Sttvika Devotion
2. Rjasa Devotion
3. Tamasa Devotion and
4. Nirguna Devotion.
1. Sattvika-Devotion: Devotion in Shri Krishna guided by the inclination for destroying sins, for making dedication of the fruits of actions; or as an inevitable duty --is called “Sattvika-Devotion”.
2. Rajasa-Devotion: Devotion in Shri Krishna for obtaining wealth and affluence or for excellent worlds like heaven etc., or for obtaining praise and power is called “Rajasa-Devotion”.
3. Tamasa-Devotion: Devotion in Shri Krishna with evil sentiments like to do harm to others, to deceive people by making a show of devotion or for the sake of jealousy etc. is called “Tamasa-Devotion”.
4. Nirguna-Devotion: Devotion in Shri Krishna without having desire to obtain any kind of fruit and by concentrating mind in the Supreme-Being Bhagavan Sri Krsna is called Nirguna-Devotion.
Nirguna-Devotion is also known by the name of ‘Ahaituki’ or ‘Animitta’ devotion. A wish to obtain any kind of fruit is called Hetu or Nimitta. Devotion in which there is no Hetu or Nimitta of any kind is called ‘Ahaituki’ or ‘Animitta’ devotion.
Shri Vallabhacharya has preferably preached Nirguna-devotiona by the name of ‘Pusti-devotion’-- to which Bhagavan has considered as the best in Bhagavata Purana.
Nirguna-Pusti-devotion is the best of its kinds. Narrating the excellence of Nirguna-Pusti-Devotion in Sri Bhagavata Bhagavan says: Though my Nirguna devotees consider my worship as the very fruit, do not ask for any kind of liberation from me. But when I bestow upon them liberation-- in the form of Salokya-Mukti, Sarsti-Mukti, Samipy-Mukti or Sayujy-Mukti with love, on my own accord --my devotees are not ready to accept any kind of liberation at the cost of my service. This itself is recognized as ‘Bhakti-Yoga’ of ultimate type and as independent fruit. By this Bhakti-Yoga the devotee becomes free from the influences of all the three Guna and attains devout sentiment as the final fruit.
Jai Shri Krishna,
Devanshu
