Two of my favorite stanzas from chapter 4 of the Bhagavad Gita:
[33 & 37]
Better than any ritual
is the worship achieved through wisdom;
wisdom is the final goal
of every action, Arjuna.
...
Just as firewood is turned
to ashes in the flames of a fire,
all actions are turned to ashes
in wisdom's refining flames.
