Too many people waste their lives debating which is the "true path" or the "fastest path". If only they would set themselves on the path of using their brains! They argue about whether the true path is the path of reasoning (jnana) or devotion (bhakti). This nonsensical argumentation is probably the only thing all religions have in common. Do you suppose one can discover falsehood and unconver truth without reason? Do you suppose one can live in accordance with reason without devotion to it?
