Two Options Upon Learning Of Impending Death

“If one refuses to act under the direction of the Supreme Lord, then he is compelled to act by the modes in which he is situated. Everyone is under the spell of a particular combination of the modes of nature and is acting in that way. But anyone who voluntarily engages himself under the direction of the Supreme Lord becomes glorious.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Bhagavad-gita, 18.60 Purport)
