"Here are given below some important points according to
Vallabhacharya for the superiority of love-type of devotion (Bhakti, Raga-Marg):
(1) It does not require any means like knowledge (Gyana)
(2) There are no pitfalls in the path of devotion, if once the soul is accepted by God as His own.(3) It imparts a sense of security and absolute fearlessness. A devotee regards God as his Protector in all concerns and situations of life.
(4) It is open to all classes. Even women and the down-trodden shudras are qualified for admission to it.
(5) Its goal is neither worldly happiness, nor paradisical exaltation, nor even liberation but only enjoyment of God’s love in union with Him.(6) It does not require the devotee to give up life of a householder and turn a recluse. He may stay in the world and experience God through service and love, even as a householder.
(7) It is not obligatory for a devotional life that desires should be suppressed. It stresses the need that our desires should be sublimated and turned to God.
(8) Bhakti does not make one hate the world as unreal. To the devotee, the world is God’s creation, manifested for His Lila.
(9) It is selfless. The devotee does not seek his personal good. His only good is God’s love.
(10) It is not fraught with difficulties like work (karma) and knowledge (gyana). Anybody can resort to it.
(11) It is absolute trust in God, so a devotee preserves his composure of mind in the midst of any cares or anxieties or worldly troubles.
(12) In devotion, we transcend ourself. In whatever we do, we do not think in terms of our own self, but with reference to God. We love God for His own sake; and our world and our self for the sake of God.
(13) In knowledge (Gyana, Advaita), when the goal is reached, the entity of the individual soul is lost, but in devotion it is preserved in tact. The soul participates in God’s bliss as a separate entity in full glory".
