Introduction

Whatever we think during our whole life, the same thought will come to us in the end also. At the time of our death, automatically the totality of our whole life will come up.

The whole file will come up. Whatever we spent the maximum energy on, that file will automatically come up first. That's all.

We can't do anything at that moment. Don't think that we can forget about it now and tackle the issue of our last thought at the time we leave the body. It does not work that way! Only the thought that we lived with intensely throughout our life will come up at that moment. That is why He says, 'Even when you do your duty, may you be absorbed in Me.' This means that when we live, we should try to continuously be in thoughtless awareness, witnessing consciousness, the Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

The next question: 'How can I be in the witnessing mode when I live my regular life?' Start in a simple way. When you drive, when you sit, when you talk, see what is happening inside and outside you. You don't need to close your eyes. At least while driving, please don't close your eyes! Just move away from your body.
