Bhagavad Gita 8.28 — Beyond all merit
वेदेषु यज्ञेषु तपःसु चैव दानेषु यत्पुण्यफलं प्रदिष्टम्। अत्येति तत्सर्वमिदं विदित्वा योगी परं स्थानमुपैति चाद्यम् ॥
vedeṣu yajñeṣu tapaḥsu caiva dāneṣu yatpuṇyaphalaṃ pradiṣṭam | atyeti tatsarvamidaṃ viditvā yogī paraṃ sthānamupaiti cādyam ||
Meaning
Whatever merit is said to come from the Vedas, sacrifices, austerities and charity, the yogi who knows this goes beyond it all and reaches the supreme, original abode.
