Translation
The yogīs who become detached from the material world by practice of breathing exercises and control of the mind reach the planet of Brahmā, which is far, far away. After giving up their bodies, they enter into the body of Lord Brahmā, and therefore when Brahmā is liberated and goes to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the Supreme Brahman, such yogīs can also enter into the kingdom of God.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
The detached yogīs, conquering the life airs and mind, after attaining Brahmaloka, merge with Brahmā, and then merge into the Supreme Lord, the excellent Brahman, along with Brahmā, taking their identity as worshippers of Brahmā with them.
Those who worship Brahmā but do not have bhakti, do not attain liberation with Brahmā. Those yogīs who, having entered Brahmaloka, enter the body of Brahmā, then enter the Supreme Lord, the excellent Brahman (brahma pradhānam). Having the idea that they are the worshippers of Brahmā (agatābhimānāḥ), they do not permanently remain merged in the Supreme Lord, but temporarily. When the universes are again created, they enter into the universe.
Purport
By perfecting their yogic practice,
yogīs
can reach the highest planet, Brahmaloka, or Satyaloka, and after giving up their material bodies, they can enter into the body of Lord Brahmā. Because they are not directly devotees of the Lord, they cannot get liberation directly. They have to wait until Brahmā is liberated, and only then, along with Brahmā, are they also liberated. It is clear that as long as a living entity is a worshiper of a particular demigod, his consciousness is absorbed in thoughts of that demigod, and therefore he cannot get direct liberation, or entrance into the kingdom of God, nor can he merge into the impersonal effulgence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such
yogīs
or demigod worshipers are subjected to the chance of taking birth again when there is again creation.
