Bhagavad Gita 8.6
यं यं वापि स्मरन्भावं त्यजत्यन्ते कलेवरम्। तं तमेवैति कौन्तेय सदा तद्भावभावितः॥
yaṁ yaṁ vāpi smaran bhāvaṁ tyajatyante kalevaram taṁ tam evaiti kaunteya sadā tad-bhāva-bhāvitaḥ
Translation
Whosoever at the end abandoneth the body, thinking upon any being, to that being only he goeth, O Kaunteya, ever to that conformed in nature.
What it means
Whatever state one remembers on leaving the body, to that one goes, ever conformed to it. The law is general: the last content of consciousness steers the transition. We become what we have loved most.
Try this today
The general law behind it: you become what you habitually contemplate; the last thought just reveals the lifelong pattern.
Something to reflect on
What does my mind return to when nothing demands it?
