Chapter 15
Focus Your The Divine
Focus Your The Divine
The abode where one will not return to refers to the state of the being when it transcends joys and sorrow. Kṛṣṇa again and again talks about focusing one's thoughts on the Divine.
The only way to think of the Divine at the time of our death is by thinking about Him all the time. At that time, we suddenly cannot think of God. In such pain and suffering, we suddenly can't think of God if we have always been thinking about money and food in our life. It is impossible. That is why Kṛṣṇa insists upon continuous devotion to the Supreme - bhaktyā labhyas tv ananyayā (8.22).
