Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya

Chapter-16 Daivāsura Sampad Vibhāga Yogaḥ

yaḥ śāstra vidhim utsṛjya vartate kāma kārataḥ | na sa siddhim avāpnoti na sukhaṃ na parāṃ gatim || 23 || 23. Whoever disregarding the ordinances of the Scriptures, acts under the influence of personal desire, attains neither perfection nor happiness, nor the Supreme State. Commentary One who rejects the injunctions given in the Vedas and follows the direction of one's own wishes, does not achieve any form of perfection relating to the hereafter, nor finds the slightest happiness in this world, nor the attainment of the Supreme State. If there is no striving for perfection or happiness how can one expect the Supreme State? — such is the meaning.
