Educational Q&A
Moral causality is not finalistic: after the results of sinful actions are exhausted, earlier merit and virtuous saṃskāras can reassert themselves. With renewed effort, a being can rise to higher births and ultimately attain the gods’ heaven; this is presented as Vedic śruti.
Vāyu is instructing the listener about the post-mortem trajectory of beings: striving souls, supported by wholesome saṃskāras, ascend to higher realms and reach Svarga. The surrounding explanation clarifies how even those in adverse births can return to virtuous lineages and progress upward again.
