Bhagavad Gita 4.33

Krishna speaking to Arjuna

श्रेयान्द्रव्यमयाद्यज्ञाज्ज्ञानयज्ञः परन्तप। सर्वं कर्माखिलं पार्थ ज्ञाने परिसमाप्यते ॥

śhreyān dravya-mayād yajñāj jñāna-yajñaḥ parantapa sarvaṁ karmākhilaṁ pārtha jñāne parisamāpyate

Better than the sacrifice of any objects is the sacrifice of wisdom, O Parantapa. All actions in their entirety, O Pârtha, culminate in wisdom.

In plain words: Krishna tells Arjuna, whom he calls Parantapa ("defeater of enemies") and Partha ("son of Pritha"), that offering wisdom is better than offering any material thing. All actions find their completion in wisdom.
