If at the point of death, you yearn to cater to the tongue, it is proof that the tongue has been the master of your life. If at the point of death, a woman remembers to fondle the child, the samskara (propensities and actions) of child love is predominant in her. The net result of life is that which comes to your memory during the last moments of your life. Death is inevitable for all. Direct your life towards acquisition of that samskara which you feel is best for the last moment. Fix your attention upon it day and night. Engage yourself in the journey of life with good wishes for all, seeking the company of the good and godly. Keep your mind ever fixed on the Lord.
-Divine Discourse, Prema Vahini
