Eventually, there are two ways to Self-Realization- if that term can be used in the first place. The path could be Jnana (Knowledge) or Bhakti (Surrender). Let us assume for matter of this discussion that there is an entity called "me", who wants to know what is the way or path to Self Realization.
A person who is a true Bhakta (devotee of God), eventually reaches a state of complete surrender to God. The Bhakta has given up all and says that there is nothing that he does, can do or ever done without God. He surrenders himself completely to God, including the idea of being a separate individual. In surrendering his ego, or the sense of a "me", he Realizes his True Nature to be none other than the God that he is praying to. So, eventually, the Knowledge dawns on the Bhakta.
The one who embarks on the path of Self Enquiry or Jnana, continuously questions the validity and existence of this sense of "me" or the ego or "I-thought". When the Realization dawns on him/her, the sense of a "me" vanishes. There is only the Self and no question of a "me' apart from the Self. That is, he Realizes his True Nature to be none other than the Self.
The end result of both paths is the same. Therefore, Bhakti and Jnana are one and the same. The one who has surrendered to Jnana is a true Bhakta.
