Bhagavad Gita 17.28

Whatever is done without faith, whether it be sacrifice, austerity, gift, or anything else, is called Asat (meaning "Unreal"), for it is the negation of Sat, O Arjuna! Such an act has no significance, here or hereafter.

अश्रद्धया हुतं दत्तं तपस्तप्तं कृतं च यत्।असदित्युच्यते पार्थ न च तत्प्रेत्य नो इह॥

aśraddhayā hutaṃ dattaṃ tapastaptaṃ kṛtaṃ ca yat|asadityucyate pārtha na ca tatpretya no iha||
