Sanat-Sujata said He that is not learned goes there, (to those blessed regions) by this means (performance of sacrificial ceremonies) and the Vedas say that in those regions are to be attained the true objects of life. He that has renounced all desires gains emancipation at once; but he who confuses the material body with the soul, if he can renounce desire, obtains emancipation but if emancipation is sought without the renunciation of desires, then must one proceed step by step along the path, killing it (the path) by itself (i.e. when a particular grade has been attained, the path already crossed over must be killed; or the chances of his retracing the steps being once more degraded must be removed).
सनत्सुजात उवाच एव ह्यविद्वानुपयाति तत्र तत्रार्थजातं च वदन्ति वेदाः। अनीह आयाति परं परात्मा प्रयाति मार्गेण निहत्य मार्गान्॥
