Unnecessary Necessities by Srila Prabhupada (SB 01.05.12-13) on June 11, 1969, New Vrndavana

SB 1.5.12
naiskarmyam apy acyuta-bhava-varjitam
 na sobhate jñanam alam nirañjanam
kutah punah sasvad abhadram isvare
 na carpitam karma yad apy akaranam

Translation:
Knowledge of self-realization, even though free from all material affinity, does not look well if devoid of a conception of the Infallible [God]. What, then, is the use of fruitive activities, which are naturally painful from the very beginning and transient by nature, if they are not utilized for the devotional service of the Lord?

SB 1.5.13
atho maha-bhaga bhavan amogha-drk
suci-sravah satya-rato dhrta-vratah
urukramasyakhila-bandha-muktaye
samadhinanusmara tad-vicestitam

Translation:

O Vyasadeva, your vision is completely perfect. Your good fame is spotless. You are firm in vow and situated in truthfulness. And thus you can think of the pastimes of the Lord in trance for the liberation of the people in general from all material bondage.
