Srimad Bhagvata Mahapurana: Book 11: Chapter 20: Verses 32-37

By recourse to the discipline of devotion to Me My devotee easily attains all that can be had through actions (enjoined by the Vedas), that which is obtained through askesis, nay, that which is secured by means of spiritual enlightenment and dispassion, (practice of) Yoga, piety in the form of liberality as well as by recourse to other means of attaining blessedness (such as undertaking a pilgrimage to sacred places and observing fasts etc.)-heaven, final beatitude or (residence in) My realm if he so desires on any account. As a matter of fact, pious men of wisdom exclusively devoted to Me seek nothing, not even final beatitude characterized by freedom from rebirth, though conferred by Me. The wise declare desirelessness to be the greatest and most efficacious way to final beatitude. Therefore, devotion to Me falls to his lot (alone) who does not seek-much less solicit-anything (else). Virtue and sin, resulting from good and evil, do not attach to pious souls (free from likes and dislikes) that are even-minded and exclusively devoted to Me and have (accordingly) attained to Me, who stand beyondreason. Those who follow in the aforesaid manner the paths shown by Me as leading to Me attain to My realm, which is free from fear (of death etc.), and realize that which is known as the supreme Brahma.

Thus ends the twentieth discourse in Book Eleven of the great and glorious Bhagavata-Purana, otherwise known as the Paramahamsa-Samhita.
