Reflect

If this breath were my last, where would my mind turn?

ओमित्येकाक्षरं ब्रह्म व्याहरन्मामनुस्मरन्

यः प्रयाति त्यजन्देहं स याति परमां गतिम्

॥ ८.१३ ॥

Having closed all the doors of the senses, and firmly holding the mind in the cavity of the heart, and then fixing the life-breath in the head, and thus remaining steadfast in Yogic concentration on God, he who leaves the body and departs uttering the one indestructible Brahma, Om, and dwelling on Me in My absolute aspect, reaches the supreme goal.
