At hour of death, in putting off the flesh, He goes to what he looked for, Kunti’s Son!
This section of the text describes how someone's last thoughts when dying affect the future they will have. It implies that their final thoughts have an impact on how they live in the future, suggesting an idea of the afterlife. The Gita reinforces concepts of karma and rebirth by highlighting the value of dedication and focus. Krishna makes this point in the lesson by referring to Arjuna as "Kunti’s Son," encouraging him to keep his attention on the divine as a way to attain ultimate freedom.
