अभ्यासस्तावद भक्तेर्यावन्नामश्रुतेस्तु समकालम् ।
नाश्रुनिपातोत्पुलकौ तौचेन्नावश्यकत्वमस्यकिल ॥

One must practice the rituals of bhakti (devotion) until the point when tears roll out of the eyes every time naturally when he hears the name of God. But once such devotion is internalized, there is no need for any ritual.
