Those who are situated in the mode of goodness act piously according to Vedic injunctions. Thus they are elevated to the higher planeary systems where the demigods live. Those who are influenced by the mode of passion engage in various types of productive activities in the planeary systems where human beings live. Similarly, those influenced by the mode of darkness are subjected to various types of misery and live in the animal kingdom.
