    The perpetual spiritual world environment is explained like this:

     

     

    ततः पदं तत्परिमार्गितव्यं

     

    यस्मिन्गता न निवर्तन्ति भूयः ।

     

    तमेव चाद्यं पुरुषं प्रपद्ये

     

    यतः प्रवृत्तिः प्रसृता पुराणी.॥१५.४॥

     

     

    tataḥ padaṁ tatparimārgitavyaṁ

     

    yasmingatā na nivartanti bhūyaḥ

     

    tameva cādyaṁ puruṣaṁ prapadye

     

    yataḥ pravṛttiḥ prasṛtā purāṇī(15.4)

     

     

    tataḥ — then; padaṁ— please; tat— that; parimārgitavyaṁ — to be sought; yasmin — to which; gatā — some; na — not; nivartanti — they return; bhūyaḥ — again; tam — that; eva — indeed; cādyaṁ = ca — and + ādyaṁ — primal; puruṣaṁ — person; prapadye — I take shelter; yataḥ — from whom; pravrttiḥ — creation; prasṛtā — emerged; purāṇī — in primeval limes

     

     

    Then that place is to be sought, to which having gone, the spirits do not return to this world again. One should think: I take shelter with that Primal Person, from Whom the creation emerged in primeval times. (15.4)

     

     

    निर्मानमोहा जितसङ्गदोषा

     

    अध्यात्मनित्या विनिवृत्तकामाः ।

     

    द्वंद्वैर्विमुक्ताः सुखदुःखसंज्ञैर्

     

    गच्छन्त्यमूढाः पदमव्ययं तत् ॥१५.५

     

     

    nirmānamohā jitasaṅgadoṣā

     

    adhyātmanityā vinivṛttakāmāḥ

     

    dvaṁdvairvimuktāḥ sukhaduḥkha-saṁjñair

     

    gacchantyamūḍhāḥ padamavyayaṁ tat (15.5)

     

     

    nirmāna — devoid of pride ; mohā — confusion; jita — conquered ; saṅga — attachment ; doṣā — faults; adhyātmanityā = adhyātma — Supreme Spirit + nityā — constantly; vinivṛtta — ceased; kāmāḥ — cravings; dvandvaiḥ — by dualities; vimuktāḥ — freed; sukhaduḥkha — pleasure-pain ; saṁjñaiḥ — known as; gacchanti — they go; amūḍḥāḥ — the undeluded souls; padam — place; avyayam — imperishable; tat = tad — that

     

     

    Those who are devoid of pride and confusion, who have conquered the faults of attachment, who constantly stay with the Supreme Spirit, whose cravings have ceased, who are freed from the dualities known as pleasure and pain, these undeluded souls go to that imperishable place. (15.5)

     

     

    न तद्भासयते सूर्यो

     

    न शशाङ्को न पावकः ।

     

    यद्गत्वा न निवर्तन्ते

     

    तद्धाम परमं मम ॥१५.६॥

     

     

    na tadbhāsayate sūryo

     

    na śaśāṅko na pāvakaḥ

     

    yadgatvā na nivartante

     

    taddhāma paramaṁ mama (15.6)

     

     

    na — not; tat — that; bhāsayate — illuminates; sūryo = sūryaḥ — the sun; na — nor; sasaḥko = śaśāṅkaḥ — moon; na — nor; pāvakaḥ — fire; yat — which; gatvā — having gone; na — never; nivartante — they return; tat — that; dhāmā — residence; paramaṁ — supreme; mama — my

     

     

    The sun does not illuminate that place, nor the moon, nor the fire. Having gone to that location, they never return. That is My supreme residence. (15.6)
