On the value of religious experience

Hello, I have a question about religious experience.
Let me start by saying that I'm not talking about an experience as a human need in which he sees an experience in religion, as a personal need. It's really worthless to me. Just satisfying needs.
I'm talking about developing a religious experience as a kind of halakhic command. That is, here are two Jews who observe a minor as well as a major part of halakhic law. But the first Jew observes only as an order. He has no sense of devotion. He has no identification. He does it only as a soldier.
On the other hand, the second person, in addition to being a soldier, has an additional second layer in which observance of Halacha is done out of identification, out of devotion to God, and out of religious experience.
Now which of the two people is more complete, or even more religiously ideal? I think you agree here that the second person is greater, that the experience for him begins in reality and not just on the Internet.
Now I will present my simple question: Why? Why is the other person really perceived by us as more complete and religious? It seems to me that this can be answered in two ways:
First, the attachment to God itself is a kind of halakhic clause. That is, there is a commandment to love God, and the second person's love is apparently stronger and more powerful. According to this answer, the second advantage over the first is confirmed in the field of halakhic law. Love has no limit, and the more you love God, the more you fulfill the halakhic law.
But perhaps we can answer, beyond that, even if we assume that both people go out in the commandment of loving God to the same extent (according to the halacha). There is still an advantage in the second over the first. Why? Because he is more connected to God. True, this is not halacha. It is simply self-evident. Of course, the one whose entire life is directed around the Creator is more exalted. This is a simple explanation.
I hope I was able to explain my thoughts on this. I would love to hear your opinion. And I would appreciate it if you could expand a little on what you think about this.
Thanks for everything!
