Some teachings associated with death found in the Bhagavad
Gita.
Indeed, certain is death for the born, and certain is birth
for the dead; therefore, over the inevitable, you should not grieve. (2.27)
He who is able, while still here (in this world) to
withstand, before the liberation from the body (death), the impulse born out of
desire and anger, he is a Yogin, he is a happy man. (5.23)
And whosoever, leaving the body, goes forth remembering Me
alone, at the time of his death, he attains My being; there is no doubt about
this. (8.5)
At the time of death, with an unshaken mind full of
devotion, by the power of ‘yoga’ fixing the whole ‘prana’ (breath) between the
two eyebrows, he (the seeker) reaches the Supreme Resplendent ‘PURUSHA.’ (8.10)
If the embodied one meets with death when Sattwa Guna is
predominant, then he attains to the spotless worlds of the "Knowers of the
Highest’. (14.14)
Meeting death in Rajas Guna, he is born among those attached
to action; and dying in Tamas Guna, he is born in the womb of the senseless.
(14.15)
Whatever is sacrificed, given or performed, and whatever
austerity is practised without faith, it is called 'A-SAT, ' O Partha; it is
not for here or hereafter (after death). (17.28)
