English translation and comments:

The devotees' attainment of the spiritual world is also described in the following statements of the Kaṭha Upaniṣad, where the word "svarga" is also used to meant the spiritual world (and not the planet of Indra):

"Lord Śiva asked: Who si the controller of the mind and the other senses?

"Brahmā replied: the ability to see, the functions of all the senses, and indeed life itself, are all given to the living entities by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The saintly devotees who understand this true position of the Supreme Lord become free from the cycle of birth and death, After leaving this body, they return tothe spiritual world, never again to take birth or die."

-{ }1.1-2

"Please try to understand the truth of tthe Supreme Personality of Godhead. One who understands the Supreme Lord returns to the spiritual world and becomes free from birth and death."

-{ }1.4, 2.4

"The transcendental abode of the Supreme Lord is eternal."

-{ }4.8

"One who understands the teaching of this Upaniṣad becomes free from all past sinful reactions. He becomes liberated and enters the unlimited spiritual world (svarga)."

-{ }4.9
