Vivekachudamani 7

amrtatvasya nasasti vittenetyeva hi srutih | 
braviti karmano mukterahetutvam sphutam yatah ||

It is clear that liberation cannot be the result of good works, for Sruti itself declares that there is no hope for immortality by means of wealth. 

 Remember my dear friends by good works and good heart cannot attain moksha. First he must understand himself and the purpose of this birth. Second he must surrender the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Vedas recommend four primary aims of human life: dharma, artha, kama, and moksha. " Put simply, we're told that by performing our religious duties, we'll get money to enjoy life, and after a life of enjoyment under religious guidelines, we should try for spiritual liberation. But beginning with its opening verses, the Bhagavatam promotes a religion that aims not at material prosperity and material happiness but directly at something higher. Dharmasya hy apavargyasya means one should practice religion not for any material gain, but only for liberation. And the verse goes on to say that if your religious practices provide you with money, that money should not be used for sense gratification. Money should be used for the pure service of God.
