Srimad-Bhagavatam
SB Canto 5
Karmīs, jñānīs and yogīs are after some material elevation
SB 5.11.3, Purport: If a person does not come to the conclusion that he has nothing to do with any kind of material happiness, he cannot come to the platform of understanding the Absolute Truth, or tattva jñāna. Karmīs, jñānīs and yogīs are after some material elevation. The karmīs work hard day and night for some bodily comfort, and the jñānīs simply speculate about how to get out of the entanglement of karma and merge into the Brahman effulgence. The yogīs are very much addicted to the acquisition of material perfection and magical powers.
SB Canto 7
Material elevation to life as a brāhmaṇa, demigod, ṛṣi and so on are not causes for developing love of Godhead
SB 7.7.51-52, Purport: Material elevation to life as a brāhmaṇa, demigod, ṛṣi and so on are not causes for developing love of Godhead, but if one sincerely engages in the service of the Lord, his Kṛṣṇa consciousness is complete.
Sri Caitanya-caritamrta
CC Madhya-lila
At the end of the material world, all attainments of material elevation will also end
CC Madhya 8.90, Purport: Being elevated to the heavenly planets or other material planets does not mean attaining an eternal life of knowledge and bliss. At the end of the material world, all attainments of material elevation will also end. Again, according to Kṛṣṇa in the Bhagavad-gītā (18.55), only those who engage in His loving devotional service will be admitted to the spiritual world and return to Godhead, not others:
- bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaś cāsmi tattvataḥ
- tato māṁ tattvato jṣātvā viśate tad-anantaram
