Sadhak will never achieve the true form of Bhakti till the level of the prana (one of the instruments of the mind-body complex) is of sentient nature. For this reason there is a necessity of cleansing the prana first. Feelings, emotions, desires, anger, etc., are the different forms of the prana. Sadhak will definitely get entangled in prana the instant it arises, because of his sentient nature. He will interpret and act accordingly. How can he find the energy to overcome various forms of prana? If the hunger for spirituality is real, true and intense, he may hear the voice of the inner divine consciousness and act on it. Otherwise prana's insistences, desires, inclinations, etc., will ride over the soul.
