Madhvaon Brahma Sūtra 4.2.21

(These two courses refer to the two classes of) Yogins and also depend upon their remembrance (of the routes as described by Smritis. The routes leading to Brahman and Moon are not merely under the control of time j but they differ accord- ing as the Yogins are those that follow knowledge, or those that follow Karma (action). Further the routes are travelled according as they are remembered at the end, which is seen by the distinguishing attributes used (viz., Yogin and Brahmavid) in the following Gita verses: " Fire, light, the day, the bright half of the month, the six months, the Northern progress—those people that having known (seen) Brahman travel by this route, go to Brahman ” (Gita. VIII. 24-25); “ Smoke, night, the dark half of the month, the six months» the Southern pro- gress ; the Yogin travelling by this route reaches Moon and comes back.” It is said also in the Adhyatma : " By the remembrance of the path, the departing soul certain- ly goes to Brahman or Moon; but this route is obtained only when such remembrance is secured at least in another life in the case of him who at death does not possess it.”
