Logos 49
Anyone who has not completely given up on material life must necessarily review the guilty actions of his existence, and death will surprise him with his mind full of these thoughts, he will be forced to take a body back into this world.
The mind takes with it the tendencies of the being who is going to die, so that the state of mind at the very moment of death determines the conditions in which one will be reborn. Unlike the animal, whose mental faculties are small, the dying man remembers, as in a dream, all that he has done during his life. These memories awaken innumerable material desires which prevent him from regaining his original spiritual form and thus returning to his first home, the spiritual world.
The servant of God, through the practice of the service of love and devotion which he offers to the Supreme Lord, develops throughout his life his love for God, so that, even if at the time of death he forgets his spiritual activities, the Lord remembers him. The spiritual progress of the virtuous being is never in vain, even if he is reborn in the material world. The Lord never forgets the service of his devotee.
Logos 50
The Lord says: “Whoever fulfills his duty according to My instructions and who follows this teaching with faith, without envy, that one frees himself from the chains of karma. But those who, because they are envious, neglect to always apply My teachings, they are, you know, deluded, deprived of knowledge, doomed to ignorance and bondage. Even the sage acts according to his own nature, as it is so with all beings. What good is it to repress this nature?
Although experiencing attraction and repulsion for sense objects, embodied beings should not allow themselves to be dominated either by the senses or by their objects, since these constitute an obstacle to spiritual realization.
It is better to discharge one's own duty, even if imperfect, than to assume that of another, even to accomplish it perfectly. Better to fail or die in fulfilling your own duty than to do that of others, a very perilous thing”.
