The path of the Supreme Soul is called the path of the gods. The path that is made up of the quality of Ignorance is called the path of Pitris. These are the two paths in the world hereafter. By one, people go to heaven. By the other people go to hell.
देवयानचरो विष्णोः पितृयाणश्च तामसः। द्वावेतौ प्रेत्य पन्थानौ दिवं चाधश्च गच्छतः॥
