અધ્યાત્મતત્વાલક, cause of the Karmic energies is not obliterated, no one can be free from the cycle of birth and death, Svarga is said to afford happiness which far surpasse: any in this world. If even that happiness is ephemeral, for, what else it is if it is sure to end sooner or later according to the amount of merit the being has accumulated. What can we say of the happiness in this mortal world of ours ?
The best kind of happiness that we can think of and that can be supposed to be achieved is in itself not permanent, at most it may last during the life-time of the individual. This point is proved by the above illustrations. Such being the nature of happiness we ought to see that our life is devoted to the attainment of real that is everlasting happiness. Svarga is the result of our action which can be performed only here. Hence it is that even gods long for human body, so that they may rightly utilise it and be free from the Karmic bondage.
