Persevere in the attempt, and you are sure to realize Him at last. To fix the mind on God is very difficult in the beginning, unless one practices meditation in solitude. The path of knowledge leads to Truth, as does the path that combines knowledge and love. The path of love, too, leads to this goal. The way of love is as true as the way of knowledge.
All paths ultimately lead to the same Truth.
But as long as God keeps the feeling of ego in us, it is easier to follow the path of love. There is nothing in mere scholarship. The object of study is to find means of knowing God and realizing Him. In living your life of peace and virtue, be indifferent alike to the praise and censure of mankind. The means of realizing God are ecstasy of love and devotion - that is, one must love God.
