In truth, death concerns only the gross material body and not the spiritual being or the spirit soul, for the spiritual body remains at all times. Resurrection applies only to God and His representatives, the holy beings, because it does not concern the material body, but rather the spiritual body.
In truth, the resurrection of the dead corresponds to the resurrection of the spiritual body; it is the rebirth of the spiritual being to true life. It applies to the transformation of a mortal being into an immortal being, of a material being into a spiritual being, of a human being into a divine being.
The spiritual body never dies, whereas the material body, whether human, animal, or plant, is subject to destruction and annihilation. The spiritual body remains even after the destruction of the material body. We all possess a spiritual body, currently covered by the material body in which we are incarnated, which emerges or resurrects for all those who walk with God.
In truth, the resurrection of the dead corresponds to the reappearance of the glorious, incorruptible, and spiritual body that we had from the beginning, and which we lost upon entering this material world, but especially upon incarnating in a material body. There is no resurrection of material bodies, for this is a lie of Satan. On the other hand, those who turn to Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, who choose to love Him, to surrender to Him, to do His divine will, to unite their desires and interests with His, and to serve Him with unfailing love and devotion, will regain, upon the death of their physical body, their spiritual body, which they will retain for eternity, and through which they will be able to enter the eternal and absolute kingdom of God, in order to live with Him. This is the true resurrection.
Does the state of mind at the time of death determine a favorable or unfavorable outcome?
The state of mind at the time of death determines the conditions under which we will be reborn.
The virtuous person who has attained the state of holiness asks the Lord to grant them entry into His eternal and absolute kingdom, once they have given up their vital breath and left their material body.
Before their body is reduced to ashes, they ask the Lord to remember the virtuous deeds and sacrifices they have performed throughout their existence. They recite this prayer at the very moment of death, fully aware of their past actions and the goal they have yet to achieve.
At this moment, those who have not completely abandoned material life must necessarily review the sinful actions they have committed throughout their existence. Death, upon catching them with these thoughts in their mind, will force them to reincarnate and accept a new body in this world. The Lord teaches that the mind carries with it the tendencies of the dying being, so that the state of mind that animated it at the very moment of death determines the conditions in which it will be reborn.
