As you likely already know, in Hindu philosophy, bhakti (worship/devotion/love) is one of the three yogas that lead to liberation (the other two being karma (action) and jnana (knowledge).
I think the choice of which path to follow in life is dependent on one's karma and where they are in their journey to liberation. A Bhakti lives in devotion to the Lord and strives to perform all actions in life in service to God with the goal of understanding of and union with divinity.
For some, a transcendental view if the Divine is optimal, for others, and immanent view is. It depends on the person.

The light of Allah grow within the muslim who seeking Allah. I can not speak for those who not see Allah from within them self.Then electric lights should make more of Allah. LEDs are more efficient Allahs. The sun must be a hot source of Allah. I wonder if it is possible to get too hot?

Is it not written in your Law, 'I have said you are "gods"?
said that which is born of Spirit is Spirit and that which is born of flesh is flesh. Spirit gave life to flesh. Flesh doesn't give life to Spirit.
