Verse 9.20

त्रैविद्या मां सोमपाः पूतपापा यज्ञैरिष्ट्वा स्वर्गतिं प्रार्थयन्ते। ते पुण्यमासाद्य सुरेन्द्रलोक मश्नन्ति दिव्यान्दिवि देवभोगान्।।9.20।।

trai-vidyā māṁ soma-pāḥ pūta-pāpā yajñair iṣhṭvā svar-gatiṁ prārthayante te puṇyam āsādya surendra-lokam aśhnanti divyān divi deva-bhogān

Meaning

Yo, those peeps who know the three Vedas, sip Soma, and are totally squeaky clean from sin? They worship me through sacrifices and pray for heaven. They hit up the Lord of the Gods' heavenly crib and live it up with all the godly perks.

Commentary

Okay, so like, imagine you're climbing this crazy mountain of yoga, right? You're almost at the top, but then BAM! You get totally sidetracked by this heavenly paradise. It's like, super tempting, all shiny and sparkly, and you lose your focus. You're all, 'OMG, this is amazing!' and forget about your goals. These heavenly beings are all, 'Yo, Yogi! We're totally vibing with your dedication. This is your final destination, bro. We're your servants, you can do whatever you want, ride this sick chariot, chill with these hot celestial babes, and get whatever you desire from this wish-granting tree. Immortal nectar? Check. Epic lake of joy? Double check.' And you're like, 'Whoa, this is it!' But it's a trap! It's all temporary. Once your good karma runs out, you're back to square one. But then there's the other type of Yogi, the one who's super disciplined and focused. They're not falling for that heavenly BS. They keep pushing until they reach true enlightenment. They know that heavenly pleasures are just as fleeting as earthly ones. It's like, even in America, with all the money and stuff, people are always chasing the next thrill. It's the same in heaven, but even more intense. Only the Yogis with serious self-control and a burning desire for liberation can resist the temptation and achieve true happiness.
