Chāndogya 8.4.1
अथ य आत्मा स सेतुर्धृतिरेषां लोकानामसम्भेदाय नैतꣳ सेतुमहोरात्रे तरतो न जरा न मृत्युर्न शोको न सुकृतं न दुष्कृतꣳ सर्वे पाप्मानोऽतो निवर्तन्तेऽपहतपाप्मा ह्येष ब्रह्मलोकः ॥ ८.४.१ ॥
Now, this self is the bridge and the support that keeps these worlds from mingling. Day and night do not cross over this bridge; neither old age, nor death, nor sorrow, nor good deeds, nor evil deeds. All evils turn back from it, for this brahma-world is free from evil.
Chāndogya 8.4.2
तस्माद्वा एतꣳ सेतुं तीर्त्वान्धः सन्ननन्धो भवति विद्धः सन्नविद्धो भवत्युपतापी सन्ननुपतापी भवति तस्माद्वा एतꣳ सेतुं तीर्त्वापि नक्तमहरेवाभिनिष्पद्यते सकृद्विभातो ह्येवैष ब्रह्मलोकः ॥ ८.४.२ ॥
Therefore, having crossed this bridge, one who was blind is no longer blind; one who was wounded is no longer wounded; one who suffered no longer suffers. Therefore, for one who has crossed this bridge, night too appears as day, for this brahma-world shines forth all at once.
Chāndogya 8.4.3
तद्य एवैतं ब्रह्मलोकं ब्रह्मचर्येणानुविन्दन्ति तेषामेवैष ब्रह्मलोकस्तेषाꣳ सर्वेषु लोकेषु कामचारो भवति ॥ ८.४.३ ॥
Those who attain this world of Brahman through celibate discipline — for them alone is this world of Brahman, and for them there is free movement at will in all worlds.
