Please let me know if I have missed it, but I believe Savikalpa and Nirvikalpa samādhi - very essential eligibility criteria for entring Hiraṇyaloka, is yet to be mentioned in this thread.

"No one can enter Hiranyaloka unless he has passed on earth beyond the state of sabikalpa samadhi into the higher state of nirbikalpa samadhi."

I'm glad that you brought this up as that was precisely where I was hoping to go next. You haven't missed anything. As you can see from the above quote, Yukteswar states explicitly that one must go beyond Savikalpa into the HIGHER STATE of NIRBIKALPA (Nirvikalpa) to be able to enter Hiranyaloka.
(NOTE: For those unfamiliar with the terms, here is a brief definition:
https://www.yogapedia.com/definition/9011/nirvikalpa
"Nirvakalpla Samadhi, is considered to be the highest form of enlightenment, in which awareness is experienced outside of the mind, as one with universal bliss. This meditative state is one without thoughts, conceptions, ideas or form, where true peace can be found. "
Regarding Savikalpa Samadhi:

This thread is heading into a very positive direction leading to
HOW does one actually get into Nirvikalpa Samadhi. Pantanjali describes the process and so does Tibetan Buddhism among other wisdom traditions.
