Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 8, Verse 6

Krishna said
यं यं वापि स्मरन्भावं त्यजत्यन्ते कलेवरम्।तं तमेवैति कौन्तेय सदा तद्भावभावितः ॥8.6॥

yaṃ yaṃ vāpi smaranbhāvaṃ tyajatyante kalevaramtaṃ tamevaiti kaunteya sadā tadbhāvabhāvitaḥ

Meaning

Whatever state of being a person remembers when leaving the body at the end, that very state they reach, Arjuna, because they have always been absorbed in it.

हिंदी में अर्थ

हे कौन्तेय, अंत समय में मनुष्य जिस भाव को याद करते हुए शरीर छोड़ता है, वह उसी भाव को प्राप्त होता है, क्योंकि वह जीवन भर उसी भाव में डूबा रहता है।
