Bhagavad Gita 8.6

Whatever state of being one remembers when leaving the body, that state alone one attains, having been ever absorbed in its thought.

Theme: Grief

"Whatever state of being one remembers when leaving the body, that state alone one attains, having been ever absorbed in its thought."

Modern explanation

How is love showing up in me, even now?
