yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom;
seek learning, even by study and also by faith."

"Realization"

"By realization I mean a wonderful experience of peace, goodness,, and beauty; when the world makes sense and there is an all-pervading unity of both substance and essence.  While such experience does not last, it cannot be forgotten.  It shines in the mind, both as memory and longing.  I know what I am talking about, for I have had such experiences."

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
I Am That

Nisargadatta is not the speaker of these words.  It is one actually one of his students questioning him.  Nisargadatta is even a bit dismissive of the experience.
