Beyond Birth & Death
We Are Not These Bodiesplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigBhagavad-gītā As It Is 14.20
When the embodied being is able to transcend these three modes, he can become free from birth, death, old age and their distresses and can enjoy nectar even in this life.
Elevation at Deathplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigBhagavad-gītā As It Is 8.14
For one who remembers Me without deviation, I am easy to obtain, O son of Pṛthā, because of his constant engagement in devotional service.
From the highest planet in the material world down to the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place. But one who attains to My abode, O son of Kuntī, never takes birth again.
One who is thus transcendentally situated at once realizes the Supreme Brahman. He never laments nor desires to have anything; he is equally disposed to every living entity. In that state he attains pure devotional service unto Me.
Associating with Kṛṣṇaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigBhagavad-gītā As It Is 8.28
A person who accepts the path of devotional service is not bereft of the results derived from studying the Vedas, performing austere sacrifices, giving charity or pursuing philosophical and fruitive activities. At the end he reaches the supreme abode.
