Can we realize our spiritual identity only by bhakti and not by intelligence?

From Raj

Comment on Our intelligence can be overcome by illusion, yet it is also the key to overcome illusion

As intelligence being materially the superior-sense, some of them misidentify themselves with the intelligence. So I guess only through devotional-service, can one distinguish himself/herself from the intelligence, and be elevated to a spiritual platform where the true identify of being a soul is revealed.
