Komentář:

This sutra discusses antakálé, the final moment of a person's life, just before they leave their body. At that moment, if one recalls Krishna, then the person at that moment acquires the bhav of Krishna, or becomes absorbed by Krishna. Of this there is no doubt.

What is it that we are recalling at that moment, what is meant to be remembered? The emphasis is that what we usually think of is what we consider important, necessary, obligatory, that is what is likely to come to mind. We do not recall or remember just anything, only what we consider important. Our actions revolve around what is important to us. 

At the final moment of leaving the body, whatever is most in mind will be recalled, whatever has been important to that person. So it can be with Brahma and Krishna, our understanding of them, if we consider them important, then we can think of them at that moment, that is a realizable goal. How can we do that, though, if we are thinking about things that are more important - our family, our property, the aches and pains in our body? This is for those who can have the divine in mind. Remembering this takes an enormous amount of effort, we must build up the presence and the importance in our minds of the divine. The calculating part of our mind is what decides what is important to us or not. Daily, regular devotion is the way we tell ourselves what is important, this is sadhana, practice. We must reflect on what it is that we are having in mind.

Things that are important are not done at the last moment, they are prepared in advance and a lot of thought is devoted to them. People spend their attention and focus on everything to do with their individuality, not on the divine. They do not see the point of having the divine in mind. Everything that is "I-me-mine" is at the front of their minds. 

We can be certain, if we have the divine in mind, that we will be absorbed into the divine at the moment of death. This is believed in Vedic culture, and constant daily repetition of what is important is therefore practiced so it will be engraved in the mind. This increases the chance that we will recall it at the moment of death. 

The same process applies to understanding the gunas and being able to apply that knowledge - if we consider them important, if we practice with them, then they become engraved and we will never forget them, they will be ever-present.

Preparing for this moment is like planning where you will go on vacation, visualizing a favorite destination, looking forward to returning there. The more perfectly this practice is performed, the more likely we are to recall the divine and be absorbed by it.

When the moment comes, if we have not been preparing, we will not be ready. We sharpen our intelligence through constant practice. The kind of practice that is just ostentation though, that is performed for the sake of others, will not bring us to this goal, because it is just more emphasis on the ego.

People do recognize that they are dying when the final moment comes, the life force begins to dwindle. It's like when you are riding a bicycle, in the moment just as you push off from the ground to put both feet on the pedals, the moment just before moving forward, when you feel that the forward motion is beginning. A person feels that same transition before death - we lose control over our limbs, we feel the life force leaving from the extremities and concentrating in the abdomen, and whatever is important to the person rises in the mind.
