All the scriptures, they declare bhakti or devotion as the easiest and the most accessible path to realize God. However, it must be done from the heart and not merely performed by our physical senses. Yes, of course, we can engage our physical senses. They are our helpers, after all, but it must be in tandem with the mind, and this is mandatory. It is imperative if we desire to gain spiritual success make progress. This is how it is. It has to be from the heart.
Suppose you are driving somewhere in your car in traffic. You remember where you are going on your way to your destination. You give side to the car behind you. You are conscious of the motorcycle on your left side and you stop the moment you sense danger, so all throughout you are extremely alert because even the slightest mistake or carelessness could have serious ramifications.
Similarly, you are cautious when you give importance to your physical body to this physical body. Yes, but we are not or we do not think when it comes to matters of the soul, our true inner self. We are nothing but careless in devotion in bhakti.
