Why do you bless the lulav only?

The Lulav represents a Jew that learns Torah but lacks the practice of mitzvot. Thus, since the Lulav is the tallest 'min' it bounds all other minim together and serves as a foundation of life, which is the study of Torah as being the key to a most perfected life, as it shapes your view and conduct on life. This change must be rooted in the soul in order to have a real change, as the Lubavicher Rebbe explained, real success of learning is when it influences a person to behave according to his learnings.

Another point, since the Lulav is straight and is the tallest type, it resembles the soul as it always yearns to rise upward to heaven. Thus the shake represents the soul shaking and striving to connect to its root.
