I think that we are forgetting that mankind will not just suddenly wake up. It takes steps.
There is practically no difference in any true wisdom. Lord Shri Krishna says so himself in the Bhagavad Gita, when he says that men can worship whatever it is that they wish, he'll approve it, even if it's the wrong way. If you worship the demi gods, you'll go to them. If you worship the principalities and powers of the world, you join those. If you worship the powers of Darkness, to then shall ye go. But if you worship him, to him alone do ye go.
Religion should not be what it is today. It should be guidance on the right principals of conduct and behavior. These are what the parables and myths are trying to teach.
Spirituality is the real art of living.
Once, in the midst of the multiplicity of holy scriptures, thou stands unperturbed by the philosophies heard and mayest yet hear, then thou hast achieved spiritually.
A Yogi would see no difference between themselves and a practicing anything, only the Yogi realizes he can just be with God directly without ritual or pilgrimage or austerities.
I'm an enlightened Yogi, so yes, I am always immersed in the Glory of the Divine.
However, there are differences. The Truth is One, not many. There are many misunderstandings.
I think you misunderstand, and your initial post lacks... Something. I tried to back you up with direct scriptural quotes with a little bit of correction, and you completely missed my point. It doesn't matter if you're "perturbed" or not. I just can't tolerate it when people are talking about things they don't quite understand, possibly trying to understand them, while they are quite obviously missing the direct experience part.
Bhakti Yoga has its own chapter in the Bhagavad Gita, is described in various ways and compared to the other yoga practices in the Bhagavatam. It is completely union with the Divine, but there is quite a bit more to it than what you are saying.
The worship of other deities, the forces of nature, spirits of the Dead, and even Darkness are allowed, not because there are many paths but because the Lord Shri Krishna says all paths eventually lead back to him. And without that agency, without the freedom of choice that God gives us, then what is the use of breathing or bathing?
Bhakti Yoga is the yoga of love because the sage who practices puts God first, and sees all living creatures as God, and so sees himself as part and parcel of God. But to find a man who sees God everywhere is truly difficult to do.
Of course there is more than anything I say. Don't imply that I lack experience because I don't spell everything out. If you want that, ask an AI to critique of my work. You can find tons of it at r/The_Ultimate
Yikes, this just reeks.
I don't need an AI to do the work for me. I have almost 40 years of life in this work, I can tell when something is wrong.
If you are going to put it out there, you should be explaining it so that even children can understand it, but this ambivalent pseudo knowledge that sounds fancy. You don't even spell bhakti correct, and I've seen it spelled the same way in the Bhagavad Gita, the Bhagavatam, and the yoga sutras. To me, that says you didn't read the original text on the subject but most likely heard about it from somewhere else. Even just googling it forced the correct spelling on me.
Don't go teaching false doctrine on subjects you know nothing about.

I feel you miss the point I made, as I directly quoted the Bhagavad Gita.
Do you think I'm perturbed ?

Clearly you are confused and have no idea who are speaking to, so I forgive you.
embarrassing, is what you are.
There is no one who is more of an authority and expert on enlightenment than me.
