Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.28.30
"An ordinary living entity performs material work and is transformed by the reaction to such work. Thus he is driven by various desires to continue working fruitively up to the very moment of his death. A wise person, however, having experienced his own constitutional bliss, gives up all material desires and does not engage in fruitive work." https://vedy.online/en/sb11/28/30

Some of them are being elevated to the upper planetary systems, and some are going down into the lower planetary systems.

By the mercy of both Kṛṣṇa and the spiritual master, such a person receives the seed of the creeper of devotional service." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 19.151
