सूक्तिमुक्तावली - भक्ति मार्ग

हरिभक्तिः केवलतो वेदान्तग्रन्थवाचनाभ्यासात्
    नभवेद् यत्पञ्चाङ्गे कदा कदा कुत्र वृष्टिरिति ।
तत्कोष्टकं सुलिखितं तेषां पुञ्जान्नचैक जलबिन्दुः
    तद्वद्भक्तिप्राप्तौ तदुक्तगुणभाक स्वयं भूयात् ॥

Devotion towards God can not be got from reading a lot of books and scriptures. A lot of scholars may get together and create the panchanga (calendar) which accurately tells when and where it would rain. All of them put together can not force even a drop of water from the sky. Just like that reading a lot of books is not enough for realization - one has to have strong devotion in God to realize the truth.
