Path of truth is soul-centric path.

The one, which is born, lives and dies, is the form. The form, time and space appear together and disappear together.   There is neither birth nor death for soul or consciousness, which is the innermost self; there is a means of crossing this physical existence or universe or waking; one has to go beyond form, time and space, to realize the true existence is beyond form, time and space. 

Inquiry and reasoning into the nature of the mind or universe or waking leads to nondual self –awareness.

Faith, devotion ,  Yoga , meditation path of love  prescribed by religious sages as means of Liberation or Moksha are based on the form which has birth, life and death. Thus religious doctrine based on the form, time and space as reality, which means they are basing on the false self  (ego or waking entity) and false experience (universe or waking experience).  

Religion, yoga, conceptual gods and karma are for those people who are immersed in practical life within the practical world and think their physical identity and experience of the world as reality.

Seeker has to realize the fact that the right path to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the inner (mental) path.  

The path of love and compassion is meant for practical life within the practical world. One need not renounce the practical life in order to acquire Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. There is no need to renounce the worldly life in order to acquire  Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  By being in practical world as householder by following the path of love and compassion  for practical purpose one can strive to acquire self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

 A Gnani live in the practical world by  being in the world not of this world.   Pursuit of truth is nothing to do with the egocentric paths therefore discussing of egocentric paths is of no use. Path of truth is  soul-centric path. No one can become Buddha physically but he becomes one with Buddha’s nature (formless soul) mentally. 

Individual must find the truth on his own way and should verify everything, even his own accumulated knowledge, from inherited religion. The path of truth is path of rationality there is no place for blind faith and dogmas. 

The approach of rational self-inquiry is more scientific and it also enables aspirant of truth to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
