Preparation for death...

Verse 1.12.27 (Krishna Patro Prji):
* Very imp verse. Useful for all human beings.
* Just as BG (700 verses) tells us how to live, SB (18000 verses) tells us how to prepare for death.
* It is so imp, as to how to die. Preparation of death is not easy.
* But Parikshit Maharaj so wonderfully prepared for his death. He was given 7 days notice and he made complete use of it to take shelter of the Lord completely.
* Everyone of us is also given the notice, But we are not even gauranteed of those 7 days.
* Material attachment and taking shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord go ill together. Material attachment means ignorance of transcendental happiness under the shelter of the Lord. And this attachment can be detached through the process that SP has given us: chanting, associating with devotees.
