The Bhagavad Gita 2:42-44

Gita 2:42-43
The ignorant delighting in the flowery words of the Vedas, say “There is nothing else”. These ignorant ones full of desires  and intent on heaven and rebirth (into good earthly positions), do many specific religious rites in order to secure power and enjoyment.

Gita 2:44
Those attached to power and enjoyment, whose thoughts have been stolen-away (by such things) are not given the resolute intelligence needed for samadhi (union with God through intense concentration).
