Sri Krishna says in the Gita:
शक्नोतॊहैव
य: सोदुम् प्राक्शरीरविमोक्षणात्।
कामक्रोधोद्à¤à¤µà¤®् वेगम् स युक्त: ससुखी नर: ||
Saknoteehaiva yassodhum praak sareera-vimokshanaat;
Kaama–krodhodbhavam vegam sa yuktah sasukhee narah.
कामक्रोधोद्à¤à¤µà¤®् वेगम् स युक्त: ससुखी नर: ||
Saknoteehaiva yassodhum praak sareera-vimokshanaat;
Kaama–krodhodbhavam vegam sa yuktah sasukhee narah.
After death, a man is what he has been just before his
death. If he has not controlled lust and anger in this life, and acquired peace
of mind and joy, he cannot have them after death.
That is why Sri Krishna said ihaiva इहैव (here, in this life itself) and explained the
meaning of ihaiva by saying Praak Sareer प्राक्
शरीरविमोक्षणात् (before the
body is cast off). Such a moksha before death will alone bring about moksha
after death.

My Thoughts on the same
It is while living on earth that we should attain moksha - all desires, anger, ego, hatred should be dropped and we should purify ourselves while living on earth. We need to make the place we live Vaikunta - with Lord our guide. In this Kali Yuga, mere recitation of the name of the deity helps in achieving peace and moksha.
