To take a single practice, such as meditation, and expect the fullest and deepest wisdom from it is akin to drinking water to cure all diseases.
A foolish person might take some water, and upon repeatedly taking that water, discover that with more water, he is more alert, stronger, quicker, and more steadfast. Blinded by the amazement of the benefits of water, he continues to drink, becomes obsessed with it, and soon does not spend any effort aside from drinking, ignoring food, exercise, and rest.
Is such a practice not incredibly foolish? Do things not have their place in harmony with other things?
