How does full absorption in Krishna consciousness enable one to enter the spiritual world at the time of death? Ø “A Krsna conscious person is above duality because he does not hesitate to act in any way for the satisfaction of Krsna. Therefore he is steady both in success and in failure.” Ø “He can become liberated because he knows his constitutional position in relationship with Krsna (an eternal servant of Krishna and his only duty is to please Him always); and thus his mind cannot be drawn from Krsna consciousness. Consequently, whatever he does, he does for Krsna, who is the primeval Vishnu. Therefore, all his works are technically sacrifices because sacrifice involves satisfying the Supreme Person, Krsna. The resultant reactions to all such work certainly merge into transcendence, and one does not suffer material effects.” Ø “The more the activities of the material world are performed in Krsna consciousness, or for Vishnu only, the more the atmosphere becomes spiritualized by complete absorption. Brahman means spiritual.” Ø When the mind is fully absorbed in Krsna consciousness, it is said to be in samadhi, or trance. In that condition, everything becomes one in the Absolute, the Supreme Brahman.
