There are many paths. Each one at a slightly different level or view.
However for those who follow Shankara acharya, you can’t think of the world and wanting its amenities and then say God is the only reality.
Thus it is the road only for those who give up everything – money, fame, food Not physically but mentally. The test lies when they lose it – can they remain calm ? Without invoking the right to “fairness”
So that road is very difficult for the ordinary person. It maybe the most powerful though
