निर्ममा निरहड्कारा निर्दधन्द्धा: संयतेन्द्रिया: । ध्यानयोगपराश्षैव तत्र गच्छन्ति मानवा:,जो ममता और अहंकारसे रहित, सुख-दुःख आदि द्वद्धोंसे ऊपर उठे हुए, जितेन्द्रिय तथा ध्यानयोगमें तत्पर हैं, वे मनुष्य ही उस लोकमें जा सकते हैं

The divine messenger said: Only those people can reach that realm who are free from possessiveness and ego, who have risen beyond the pairs of opposites such as pleasure and pain, who have mastered their senses, and who are devoted to the discipline of meditation.
देवदूत उवाच
Educational Q&A
Attainment of the higher realm is presented as the fruit of inner purification: abandoning possessiveness (mamata) and ego (ahaṅkāra), remaining steady beyond dualities, restraining the senses, and committing to meditation (dhyānayoga).
A divine messenger describes the qualifications required to reach a particular exalted realm, emphasizing moral-psychological transformation—detachment, equanimity, self-mastery, and meditative discipline—as the decisive criteria.
