'The fruit of an action already performed is enjoyed there, in heaven; no further action is performed there. The fruit is enjoyed even as its root is cut away. In this I see a flaw, and in the fall that comes at the end, Mudgala. For those whose minds are filled with happiness, the fall is grievous. And for those who stand lower, it is hard to behold the more radiant splendor of others: from this arise discontent and anguish. Those who are falling suffer a clouding of awareness and an onslaught of rajas, and when their garlands wither, the fear of falling arises. From the world of Brahma downward, O descendant of Mudgala, these flaws are dreadful; yet the merits of the heavenly world, for righteous men, are counted in the tens of thousands. But there is another, better quality belonging to those who fall from heaven: through the bond of a residue of merit, they are born among men. And there, O most fortunate one, a man is born possessed of happiness; but if he does not awaken, he then descends to a lower state. What is done here is enjoyed hereafter. This world, brahmin, is held to be the field of action, and that one the field of fruit. I have told you all that you asked, Mudgala, out of compassion for you, good man. Let us go now, without delay.' Having heard these words, the son of Mudgala pondered them with his mind. Having pondered, the foremost of sages said to the divine messenger: 'Divine messenger, homage to you. Go, my son, as you please. I have no need of heaven, with its great flaw, nor of its happiness. That fall is a great suffering, its anguish exceedingly dreadful. Those who possess heaven fall from it; therefore I do not desire heaven. I shall seek only that final state, entering which one does not grieve, does not suffer, and does not waver.' Having said this, the sage dismissed the divine messenger, gave up the life of gleaning grain, and took up the highest tranquility. Becoming equal to blame and praise, alike toward a clod of earth, a stone, and gold, he remained ever established in pure knowledge-yoga and meditation. Having gained strength from the yoga of meditation and attained unsurpassed power, he went to the eternal, supreme perfection marked by liberation. Therefore you too, son of Kunti, ought not to grieve. Having fallen from a flourishing kingdom, you will regain it through austerity. Happiness follows suffering, and suffering follows happiness, coming to a man by turns, like the rim and the spokes of a wheel. You, of measureless might, shall obtain the kingdom of your fathers and grandfathers after the thirteenth year; let the fever of your heart pass away.' Having spoken thus, the blessed, wise Vyasa went again to his hermitage for austerity.

Mudgala chooses not paradise, but liberation from the very cycle of fruits. This is a decisive turn: the highest goal stands above even the most radiant reward.
