1. In the Bhagavata Purana Krishna tells his philosopher friend that those who see the Divine presence in every living being and lovingly serve them are devotees of the highest order.
2. The path to spirituality is via negativia. The seeker, under the guidence of a teacher, sees the worthlessness of the the transitory wealth, life etc. and this realisation is the revelation of the spiritual domain. Stepping upon the death and ignorance one enters into the life of immoratlity and wisdom–says Upanishads.
3. This entry however is not the result of pure discursive knowledge and sophistry, but dawns out of an intimate and intuitive experience of the truth. BHagavata Purana says: intense and passionate devotion is enough for the spiritual realisation.
