तत्कर्म यन्न बन्धाय सा विद्या या विमुक्तये।
आयासायापरं कर्म विद्यऽन्या शिल्पनैपुणम्॥१-१९-४१॥
—श्रीविष्णुपुराणे प्रथमस्कन्धे एकोनविंशोऽध्यायः

That is action, which does not promote attachment; That is knowledge which liberates [one from bondage]. All other action is mere [pointless] effort/hardship; all other knowledge is merely another skill/craftsmanship.
जन्तूनां नरजन्म दुर्लभमतः पुंस्त्वं ततो विप्रता
तस्माद्वैदिकधर्ममार्गपरता विद्वत्त्वमस्मात्परम् ।
आत्मानात्मविवेचनं स्वनुभवो ब्रह्मात्मना संस्थिति-
र्मुक्तिर्नो शतकोटिजन्मसु कृतैः पुण्यैर्विना लभ्यते ॥ VC - 2 ॥
Among the living species, a human birth very hard to obtain. It is more difficult to accomplish manhood ( specific qualities of being human). It is more difficult to achieve Satvik qualities ( the quality in the mind that seeks knowledge and truth). It is more difficult to tread the path of self-discovery without break. It is more difficult to follow the right knowledge ( that liberates one from suffering). it is more difficult to live in Viveka ( Discernment) of real and unreal. It is most difficult to realize one essential nature ( identity with the absolute). The awakening and realization are not a matter of chance. It happens when a person lived millions of lives lived with wisdom for earning the merits in terms of above achievements.
