Chapter 31 explains that one's state of mind at the time of death determines the state the soul attains in its next life. It emphasizes that whatever one meditates on at that final moment, that is the form one will become. For this reason, the chapter advocates for the "practice of remembrance of the Name" throughout life. This practice, as described in Chapter 31, ensures that one does not get confused during difficult final moments and that the remembrance of God remains. It states that sincere devotees surrender to saints because saints understand the end state and can guide them, making satsang, or holy company, essential for one's spiritual welfare.
