In the Bhāgavatam, it is also said: Therefore, for a devotee engaged in My loving service, with mind fixed on Me, the cultivation of knowledge (impersonal) and renunciation is generally not the means of achieving the highest perfection within this world. SB 11.20.31
Purport
In the Eleventh Canto, Twentieth Chapter, verse 31, of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Kṛṣṇa says, “My dear Uddhava, for persons who are seriously engaged in My service, the cultivation of philosophical speculation and artificial renunciation are not very favorable.
