Bhakti-yoga: The Topmost Yoga
Srila Bhakti Siddhant Saraswati Prabhupad says, “According to Srimad Bhagavatam, the persons who have accepted karma-yoga or gyan-yoga, they are on the wrong path. They can get dharm (so called piety), artha (material wealth), kama (fulfilment of material desires) or moksha (salvation) but not the service of Supreme Lord. We are eternal servant of Supreme Lord and we can regain our position only by bhakti-yoga. Bhakti is the eternal function of pure souls. If we regain our real position, then we have the chance of dissociating ourselves from the world.”

Sraddhamayo ’yam Loka
Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Maharaj
There is a world which is guided only by faith. Faith is everything, and it is of infinite nature; it is all-accommodating. The world of faith is all-accommodating: everything may be true there by the sweet will of the Lord. Faith is the air, the breath. Calculation has no actual value. It is inconclusive and destructive in its ultimate goal. So, it should be rejected. The knowledge of the materialists—the fallible calculations of the exploiting souls—has no value whatsoever.
