Jai Sri Ganesha,
There are two steps on the path of Bhakti,
First is to purify self to make eligible for the subject,
Second is to meditate to reach at,
Both are equally important and interconnected to each other, rituals, sacred oblations, and respective discipline part with first step, concentration, meditation and submission script the second and concluding chapter of Bhakti,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
