Bhagavad Gita 2.43
कामात्मानः स्वर्गपरा जन्मकर्मफलप्रदाम्।क्रियाविशेषबहुलां भोगैश्वर्यगतिं प्रति॥
kāmātmānaḥ svargaparā janmakarmaphalapradām |kriyāviśeṣabahulāṃ bhogaiśvaryagatiṃ prati ||
Full of desires, with heaven as their goal, (they speak words that are directed to ends) leading to new births as the result of their works, and prescribe various methods abounding in specific actions, for the attainment of pleasure and power.
Consulting only their own desires, they construct their own heaven, devising arduous and complex rites to secure their own pleasure and power; and the only result is rebirth.
Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
