The entire universe is full of miseries, and therefore the inhabitants of this material universe are always shedding tears out of intense grief. There is a great ocean of water made from such tears, but for one who surrenders unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the ocean of tears is at once dried up.
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Srimad-Bhagavatam 3.28.32, Purport
A person who accepts the path of devotional service is not bereft of the results derived from studying the Vedas, performing austere sacrifices, giving charity, or pursuing philosophical and fruitive activities. Simply by performing devotional service, he attains all these, and at the end he reaches the supreme eternal abode.
Lord Sri Krsna
Bhagavad-gita 8.28
The holy name of Hari [Krsna] is the essence of the Vedas and far superior to them. One of Krsna's names is om, the seed from which the Vedas have sprouted. One who continuously chants Lord Krsna's names is considered to have mastered the fourVedas.
Srila Jagadananda Pandita
