Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 12, Chapter 12, Text 54

SB 12.12.54

yasah-sriyam eva parisramah paro
 varnasramacara-tapah-srutadisu
avismrtih sridhara-pada-padmayor
 gunanuvada-sravanadaradibhih
 
Translation: 
 
The great endeavor one undergoes in executing the ordinary social and religious duties of the varnasrama system, in performing austerities, and in hearing from the Vedas culminates only in the achievement of mundane fame and opulence. But by respecting and attentively hearing the recitation of the transcendental qualities of the Supreme Lord, the husband of the goddess of fortune, one can remember His lotus feet.
