Bhakthi and Jnana are like the pair of bullocks for the cart both have to pull in unison. Each must keep pace with the other and help the other to drag the weight quicker. Jnana has to help the increase of Bhakthi; Bhakthi has to contribute to the growth of Jnana.

It is on account of this mutual help, this collaboration that the Gopis of Brindavan were able to attain Moksha; their Bhakthi towards Lord Krishna endowed them with the Highest Jnana also. Now, the essence of Bhakthi as well as Jnana is... Santhi, the highest type of Santhi, Prashanthi. Prashanthi leads one on to Prakanthi, the Glory of Spiritual Effulgence, and thence to Paramjyothi, the Super-effulgence of the Highest Revelation.

Jnana is a concomitant of Bhakthi; it is its component part. Love fixed on God is most beneficent. It produces the greatest Subha. It will not bind man to the earth. It will take him by hand along the road to Moksha. It will release one from all types of bonds and attachments, automatically; one has to strive only to avoid evil company. Constant association in good company will promote the feeling of detachment.

More than the adherent of the path of Karma, Jnana or Yoga, the follower of the path of Bhakthi is declared fortunate and superior. He is better than the Yogi, the Sanyasi, the Jnani and the Sadhaka who takes up the discipline of Karma.

This is the reason why Krishna directed Arjuna in the Githa to become a great Yogi. He also said besides, "Among Yogis, he who meditates on the Self as merged in Me, steadfastly, is indeed with the highest Bhakthi." Then, Arjuna asked Him, "Among these, those who worship Thee ever like that and those who worship Thee as Indestructible, Imperceptible, etc,... who among these, O Lord, have triumphed in Yoga more?" For this, Krishna replied, "Whoever fixes his mind on Me, and worships Me, whoever is steadfast and exulting in this, he has achieved greater success". So Sraddha is ever essential, in matters spiritual, related to God. Sraddha has no limitations and so, its results too have no decline. The fruits of all acts done in the pursuit of God-realisation depend upon Sadhanas, Jnana more on internal Sadhana and Bhakthi more on external Sadhana.
