However, the goals of jñāna, vairāgya and other processes are achieved by bhakti alone.

“When a person becomes My devotee he automatically attains the fruits of the renunciation of material enjoyment, and he gets sufficient knowledge to understand the Absolute Truth.” That is the test of advancement in devotional service. A devotee cannot be in darkness, because the Lord shows him special favor and enlightens him from within.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda

Commentary

The goal of jñāna is liberation. The goal of vairāgya is jñāna. These are indeed achieved by bhakti alone.
