To start off with you, there is death. There is, the body is physically shutting down.
But along with the physical shutting down of the body, there is also emotional closure that is involved. And that emotional closure has various aspects. So, for example, I was talking about this Bhakti Dhyan Mosque.
There they have a special dying service. One aspect of this particular thing is that depending on individual religious denomination, you can recite verses from Bible, Quran, Gita, and the devotees also chant mantras. That is a great equalizer.
People have attachment to various sectarian ideas. But when death comes, whatever offer helps, offer them to die. So they offer this.
And this is a enormous center for people to become peaceful in accepting whatever is going to come. At least to accept some level of acceptance. So, there is the practice of chanting the mantras at the time of death helps bring about emotional closure.
Because the fear of what is going to happen, that can block the emotional closure. So that, if that emotional closure is assisted through chanting the mantras, then it moves forward wherever the next extension is. Thank you very much for your kind attention.
