PURPORT
There are many good examples in the lives of the great devotees of the Lord of those who became indifferent to the rituals of the  Vedas  simply by devotional service to the Lord. When a person factually understands Krṣṇa and his relationship with Krṣṇa, he naturally becomes completely indifferent to the rituals of fruitive activities, even though an experienced  brāhmaṇa . Śrī Mādhavendra Purī, a great devotee and  ācārya  in the line of the devotees, says:
sandhyā-vandana bhadram astu bhavato bhoḥ snāna tubhyaṁ namo bho devāḥ pitaraś ca tarpaṇa-vidhau nāhaṁ kṣamaḥ kṣamyatām yatra kvāpi niṣadya yādava-kulottamasya kaṁsa-dviṣaḥ smāraṁ smāram aghaṁ harāmi tad alaṁ manye kim anyena me.
“O Lord, in my prayers three times a day, all glory to You. Bathing, I offer my obeisances unto You. O demigods! O forefathers! Please excuse me for my inability to offer you my respects. Now wherever I sit, I can remember the great descendant of the Yadu dynasty [Krṣṇa], the enemy of Kaṁsa, and thereby I can free myself from all sinful bondage. I think this is sufficient for me.”
The Vedic rites and rituals are imperative for neophytes: comprehending all kinds of prayer three times a day, taking a bath early in the morning, offering respects to the forefathers, etc. But, when one is fully in Krṣṇa consciousness and is engaged in His transcendental loving service, one becomes indifferent to all these regulative principles because he has already attained perfection. If one can reach the platform of understanding by service to the Supreme Lord Krṣṇa, he has no longer to execute different types of penances and sacrifices as recommended in revealed scriptures. And, similarly, if one has not understood that the purpose of the  Vedas  is to reach Krṣṇa and simply engages in the rituals, etc., then he is uselessly wasting time in such engagements. Persons in Krṣṇa consciousness transcend the limit of  śabda-brahma , or the range of the  Vedas  and  Upaniṣads .
