नालं द्विजत्वं देवत्वमृषित्वं वासुरात्मजाः । प्रीणनाय मुकुन्दस्य न वृत्तं न बहुज्ञता ।। ७-७-५१ ।।

sanskrit

My dear friends, O sons of the demons, you cannot please the Supreme Personality of Godhead by becoming perfect brāhmaṇas, demigods or great saints or by becoming perfectly good in etiquette or vast learning. None of these qualifications can awaken the pleasure of the Lord. ।। 7-7-51 ।।

sanskrit

Nor by charity, austerity, sacrifice, cleanliness or vows can one satisfy the Lord. The Lord is pleased only if one has unflinching, unalloyed devotion to Him. Without sincere devotional service, everything is simply a show. ।। 7-7-52 ।।
