Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 8
Appendix:—The yogis (ascetics), who during their spiritual practice had a craving to go to the abode of Brahma or had an insistence on their opinion, they in an order first go to the abode of Brahma and then are liberated along with Brahma, when there is final dissolution.
At the completion of the age of Brahma, when there is final dissolution, then all pure hearted persons attain the Supreme Goal with Brahma.
In salvation by stages the abode of Brahma is just like a station on the way, where only the persons craving for pleasures, alight. But those, who have no craving for pleasures, don't alight there; as if we have no purpose on the way, there may be a station or a jungle, what difference does it make for us?
in Upanisads the order of the bright fortnight path has been described in different ways; as According to Chandogyopanisad—the deity of 'arci', the deity of daylight, the deity of bright fortnight, the deity of the northern solstice, Sarttvatsara, aditya, moon, vidyut, and then to carry to the abode of Brahma by an inhuman being (4/15/5; 5/10/1-2).
