The benevolence of the Lord is such that even if a virtuous being does not reach the stage of pure devotion and free from all material defilement, he will be granted to reach him in his next life by being born again into a well-to-do family or among the devotees of the Lord. The virtuous holy being will not have to engage in the hard struggle for material existence, and will thus be able to complete his purification. When he finally leaves his body, he will immediately return to the kingdom of God, his original home, and will abide there forever.

Acts performed under the aegis of virtue bring about the purification of their author, and from virtue is born the true Knowledge.
Those ruled by virtue gradually ascend to the upper planets.
Passion know, consists of thirst, longing and endless desires. It borders the embodied soul which it dominates with material action and its fruits. It attaches the being to the fruits of its acts. When the passion grows, then with it do the signs of great attachment, of uncontrollable desires, of fiery aspiration and of intense effort.
