Why is the practice of remembering God's name and engaging in satsang considered so important?

Chapter 31 explains that the continuous practice of remembering God's name is essential to prepare the mind for the time of death. The goal is to prevent confusion during difficult times and ensure that the remembrance of God remains steadfast at the very end. The text cautions that a lifetime of spiritual wakefulness can be wasted if one 'falls asleep' or loses focus at the final moment. To this end, satsang, or the company of the holy, is crucial. Sincere devotees surrender to saints because these enlightened beings understand the soul's journey and the state of mind required at the end, providing the necessary guidance.
