    The perpetual spiritual world environment is explained like this:

     

     

    ततः पदं तत्परिमार्गितव्यं

     

    यस्मिन्गता निवर्तन्ति भूयः

     

    तमेव चाद्यं पुरुषं प्रपद्ये

     

    यतः प्रवृत्तिः प्रसृता पुराणी.॥१५.

     

     

    tata pada tatparimārgitavya

     

    yasmingatā na nivartanti bhūya

     

    tameva cādya purua prapadye

     

    yata pravtti prastā purāī(15.4)

     

     

    tata — then; pada— please; tat— that; parimārgitavya — to be sought; yasmin — to which; gatā — some; na — not; nivartanti — they return; bhūya — again; tam — that; eva — indeed; cādya = ca — and + ādya — primal; purua — person; prapadye — I take shelter; yata — from whom; pravrtti — creation; prastā — emerged; purāī — 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 तत्१५.

     

     

    nirmānamohā jitasagadoā

     

    adhyātmanityā vinivttakāmā

     

    dvadvairvimuktā sukhadukha-sajñair

     

    gacchantyamū padamavyaya tat (15.5)

     

     

    nirmāna — devoid of pride ; mohā — confusion; jita — conquered ; saga — attachment ; doā — faults; adhyātmanityā = adhyātma — Supreme Spirit + nityā — constantly; vinivtta — ceased; kāmā — cravings; dvandvai — by dualities; vimuktā — freed; sukhadukha — pleasure-pain ; sajñai — known as; gacchanti — they go; amūḍḥā — 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)

     

     

    तद्भासयते सूर्यो

     

    शशाङ्को पावकः

     

    यद्गत्वा निवर्तन्ते

     

    तद्धाम परमं मम१५.

     

     

    na tadbhāsayate sūryo

     

    na śaśāko na pāvaka

     

    yadgatvā na nivartante

     

    taddhāma parama mama (15.6)

     

     

    na — not; tat — that; bhāsayate — illuminates; sūryo = sūrya — the sun; na — nor; sasako = śaśāka — moon; na — nor; pāvaka — fire; yat — which; gatvā — having gone; na — never; nivartante — they return; tat — that; dhāmā — residence; parama — 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)
