Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.14.4) further condemns the way not following devotional service with these words:
sreyah-srtim bhaktim udasya te vibho
klisyanti ye kevala-bodha-labdhaye
tesam asau klesala eva sisyate
nanyad yatha sthula-tusavaghatinam
My dear Lord, devotional service to You is the best way to spiritual realization. If someone abandons this path to cultivate speculative knowledge, he indulges in a deviant process by which he will not achieve the desired result. Just as a person who beats an empty kernel cannot obtain wheat, one who speculates alone cannot achieve spiritual realization. The only gain will be annoyances.
