Whatever fruit of merit is declared to accrue from the Vedas, sacrifices, austerities and gifts,beyond all this goes the Yogin on knowing this ; and he attains to the Supreme Primeval abode.Whatever fruit of merit is declared by the scriptures to be attainable when. the Vedas are properly studied, when the sacrifices are performed in all their parts, when austerities are well practicedbeyond all this multitude of fruits rises the Yogin who rightly understands and follows the teaching imparted (by the Lord) in His answers to the seven questions, and he then attains to the highest abode of Isvarawhich existed even in the beginning ;He attains Brahman, the Cause.
Sri Shankaracharaya
28. Vedadhyayana (study of Vedas or the scriptures), Yagna (sacrifice), Dana (charity), Tapas (austerity;-whichever; Karma among these even if done properly, (by that) one cannot obtain the fruit that is yielded by meditation on Paramaaman at the time of death. Hence you practices to become a Yogi who performs this kind of Upasana (meditation or contemplation)."
