The Way of the Enjoyment Seekers - 20-21
1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 9 - Rajavidya Rajaguhya Yoga - Sloka 21
Te tum bhuktvaswarga lokam vishalam ksheene punye martya lokam vishanti I
Evam trayi dharmam anuprapanna gata agatam kama kamah labhante II sloka 21
Having enjoyed the vast world of heaven, they return to the world of mortals on the exhaustion of their merits; thus abiding by the injunctions of the three vedas, desiring objects of desires they go and come.
Just as the men of means are respected in the mortal world, the men of merits are assigned status in the celestial world. But they are not permitted to continue there after their merits run out. They are obliged to return to this world of karma again for further acquisition of merits. As slaves to enjoyment they are forced to knock to and fro in this manner.
But what are those who have outgrown all desires and have completely made themselves over to the maker? Their position is explained in the next slokas.
