Digest Number 1531

The last wish or thought that,a man has,at the hour of death,

determines his future course.Shri Krishna has said in Gita (V111-5-6)

that " he who remembers Me in his last moments,comes verily to Me,and

he that meditates,otherwise,at that time,goes to,what he looks for. "

We cannot be certain that,we can entertain a particular good thought,

at our last moment,for,more often than not,we are more likely to be

frightened and terrified by many causes.Hence,constant practice is

necessary for enabling us to fix our mind,on any desired good

thought,at any,or the last moment.All saints,therefore,recommend us

to remember God and chant His name always,so that we may not be

puzzled,when the time for departure comes.The devotees,on their

part,surrender themselves completely to the saints,fully believing

that,the all-knowing saints would guide and help them in their last

moments.
