We are mentioning below popular quotation about knowledge, enlightenment, God-realization of SHRI ABHIRAM PARAMAHANSA DEV
The water from the holy rivers can never wash your sins away and please the Lord; but your tears of love for the Lord. These tears from the precipitation of heartily devotion, satisfies the Lord.
The elementary substratum of faith, devotion and knowledge are not different.
If all dogs will go to heaven, there will remain none to lick the ophal leaves here.
Only the knowledged realize that they are ignorant and they exist in this material world because of their ignorance.
Everything can be mastered through spiritual practices and ethical austere lifestyle, but devotion or the Divine emotion, which can only be attained by the blessings of your Guru.
