CHAPTER 8 Yog With The Imperishable God अन्तकाले च मामेव स्मरन्मुक्त्वा कलेवरम्। य: प्रयाति स मद्भावं याति नास्त्यत्र संशय: ॥5॥ [ “The man who departs from the body remembering me doubtlessly attains to me.’’ ] That accounts for Krishn’s assertion that the man who finally, that is when he has perfect control over his mind and when even this mind is dissolved, severs his relationship with the body and departs from it with remembrance of him, surely achieves total oneness with him. Death of the body is not the final end, for the sucession of bodies continues even after death. It is only when the last crust of earned merits or demerits (sanskar) has disintegrated, and so also the restrained mind along with it, that the final end comes, and after that the Soul does not have to assume a new body. But this is a process of action and it cannot be rendered comprehensible by just words. As long as the transfer from one body to another, like a change of clothes, persists, there is no real end of the physical person.
