Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya and Tātparya
B.G 17.12
abhisandhāya tu phalaṃ dambhārthamapi caiva yat। ijyate bharataśreṣṭha taṃ yajñaṃ viddhi rājasam ॥12॥
vidhihīnamasṛṣṭānnaṃ mantrahīnamadakṣiṇam। śraddhāvirahitaṃ yajñaṃ tāmasaṃ paricakṣate ॥13॥
O best of the Bharatas, know that the sacrifice performed intending fruit, for show, is in the mode of passion.
A sacrifice performed without adherence to the proper procedures, without offering food, without chanting mantras, without giving gifts, and devoid of faith is considered to be in the mode of ignorance.

...

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
