Verse 3.95.18

साधुसंव्यवहारार्थं शास्त्रं यो नानुवर्तते ।
बहिःकुर्वन्ति तं सर्वे स च दुःखे निमज्जति ॥ १८ ॥

sādhusaṃvyavahārārthaṃ śāstraṃ yo nānuvartate |
bahiḥkurvanti taṃ sarve sa ca duḥkhe nimajjati || 18 ||

Because one who is righteous in his conduct only, without joining his righteousness with his knowledge also, is never taken into account;and is slighted by all to be plunged into insignificance and misery.
