The Vedantin says:

"It is not enough if you do selfless acts and lead a moral life. It is not enough if you scrupulously perform you duties. Something more is needed. You must attain to the Highest Divine Knowledge and thereby realize the Highest Goal yourself."

Selfless acts and moral practices are only means and stepping stones to the necessary purification of the mind and understanding, without which the Highest Knowledge cannot be attained by anybody. Every aspirant must follow the path of Knowledge that removes all ignorance and false sense of personality and "I-ness. This ultimately makes him realize the Highest" Truth about himself. A strictly moral life and selfless acts, as well as daily studies and spiritual practices, are needed to remove all the impurities lying hidden in our minds. We should all walk in such a way that we may ultimately attain the highest illumination.
