8.
Whom should one remember when one is bed ridden or very
sick?
To this question Lord Krishna
replies that He (Krishna) should be remembered.
9.
Why should you be remembered? Because
one can attain rupa (appearance) just like me.
Otherwise you get the rupa of whatever you imagine at the time of death. . For example Bharata Chakravarthy who ruled
this nation was born as deer in his next
birth because he had imagined a deer while dying.
10. How should
one remember Him? Paramathma sarvagna, existed before
the start of universe, buddhi preraka, smaller than atom, protector. It is not possible to understand Him
completely. He has different colours and hundredthousand times brighter than Sun; He
is omnipotent. Like this God (Bhagavantha)
should be remembered in this form to attain liberation when dying.
