Shri Rama Gita
ननु क्रिया वेदमुखेन चोदिता तथैव विद्या पुरुषार्थसाधनम् । कर्तव्यता प्राणभृतः प्रचोदिता विद्यासहायत्वमुपैति सा पुनः ॥ ११॥
Just as the Vedas declare that knowledge is the means for attaining the ultimate goal, with the same emphasis the Vedas also prescribe karmas. Moreover, the Karmas prescribed are compulsory for a living being. Therefore, these Karmas can be complementary to the path of knowledge.
english translation
