Yatharth Geeta -Swami Adgadanand Ji

CHAPTER 8 Yog With The Imperishable God Fire is a symbol of God’s radiance as day is of knowledge. The bright half of lunar month stands for purity. The six virtues of discrimination, renunciation, restraint, tranquillity, courage and intellect are the six months of the ascendant motion of the sun. The state of upward motion is the progress of the sun to the north of the equator. Enlightened by knowledge of the reality which is quite beyond nature, sages attain to God and they are then not reborn. But what happen to the worshippers who do not realize this state of divine magnificence in spite of their devotion? धूमो रात्रिस्तथा कृष्ण:षण्मासा दक्षिणायनम्। तत्र चान्द्रमसं ज्योति-र्योगी प्राप्य निवर्तते ॥25॥ [ “Dying during prevalence of the darkness of a gloomy night, the dark half of a lunar month, and the six months of the downward course of the sun, the yogi who desires fruits of his action attains to the dim light of the moon and is reborn after enjoying his rewards in heaven.” ]
