11.2.7.19

lokaḥ prāśitraṃ sa yo ha vai lokaḥ prāśitramiti vedāva ha lokaṃ runddhe'tho yatkiṃ ca lokena jayyaṃ sarvaṃ haiva tajjayati no ha lavena lokādvyathathe lavena ha vā amuṣmiṃloke lokādvyathante'tha ya evaṃ veda na ha bahu cana pāpaṃ kṛtvā lokādvyathate

The fore-portion is the place (in heaven); and, verily, whosoever knows the fore-portion to be the place (in heaven) secures for himself the place (in heaven); and whatever is to be gained by the place (in heaven) all that he now gains; and, indeed, he does not by ever so little fall from his place, for it is by ever so little that in yonder world men fall from their place; and whosoever knows this does not fall from his place however much evil he may have done.
