Srimad Bhagavatam
Although the mind may work imperfectly at the time of death, Krishna gives a devotee shelter at His lotus feet. Therefore, when a devotee gives up his body, the mind does not take him to another material body. Rather, Krishna takes the devotee to that place where He is engaged in His pastimes. One’s consciousness, therefore, must always be absorbed in Krishna and then one’s life will be successful. Otherwise, the mind will carry the soul to another material body.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Always remember Krishna who is your dear most friend and always serve Him just to please Him and He will give you all intelligence how to be a first class devotee.
Bhakti Swarup Damodar Swami
Shravanam, Kirtanam, Smaranam. Kirtaniya sada hari. Constantly remember. So, at the time of death, we will be able to glorify the Lord.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Sravanam, or hearing, is the first step in acquiring transcendental knowledge. One should not give aural reception to unauthorized persons, but should approach the proper person, as recommended in Bhagavad Gita.
Bhakti Swarup Damodar Swami
By glorifying the Lord, we can remain in His association.
Bhakti Swarup Damodar Swami
The only purpose is to remember the Lord at the end of life. Only one purpose, “ante narayana smriti”.
