Aim of Devotion · Temporary Reward vs. Lasting Union
Meaning
"Knowers of the three Vedas, drinkers of the Soma juice, purified of sin, worship Me with sacrifices and pray for passage to heaven; attaining the pure world of Indra, they enjoy the divine pleasures of the gods."
Explanation
Even sincere spiritual effort can be shaped by what it's aimed at—here, toward temporary heavenly reward rather than lasting union.
