Sanskrit Verse
Te tam bhuktva svarga-lokam vishalam kshine punye martya-lokam vishanti, evam trayi-dharmam anuprapanna gatagatam kama-kama labhante
Translation & Meaning
After enjoying that vast heavenly realm, when their accumulated merit is exhausted, they return to the mortal world. Thus those who seek enjoyment through the Vedic rituals go and come back, driven by desire. Without desireless devotion, the soul remains caught in the cycle of ascent and descent.
Key Teachings
- •All temporary heavens are eventually left behind when merit is exhausted
- •Desire perpetuates the cycle of repeated birth and death
- •Only desireless worship of God grants permanent liberation
