Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya 382

‘Through the Vedas’ — by mere study, exposition, teaching, hearing and reciting these sacred texts, it is not possible to know Me as I really am. It is also not possible to know Me in truth through Vedic sacrifices, charity, making daily offerings and performing austerities, devoid of devotion towards Me. But with single-minded devotion it is possible to know Me accurately through the Scriptures, to behold Me directly, and enter into Me in reality. Accordingly there is a Vedic verse:—

‘This Self cannot be obtained by instruction, nor by intellectualising nor by much hearing. Whomsoever He chooses, by Him alone is He obtained. To such a one He reveals His own form’ ^[1] and ^[2].

mat karma-kṛn mat-paramo mad-bhaktaḥ saṅga-varjitaḥ |
nivairaḥ sarva bhūteṣu yaḥ sa māmeti pāṇḍava || 55 ||

55. Whosoever serves Me, regards Me as the highest and is devoted to Me, free from attachment
and devoid of malice towards any creature, comes to Me, O Arjuna.
