How to Die, Four Simple Tips

I always thought that all this yoga we do is simply preparation, and the preparation is for the moment of truth, or, the moment of "death" because as Mexican artist Freeda Kahjlo put it: "I hope the exit is joyful - and I hope never to return".   Those could have been my words.

So I wondered, what does the Gita say about this?  and it gives four bullet points, consider this:

8.5 If you are thinking of me at the time of physical death, you will leave your body and come directly to me; there is no doubt about it.


8.6 A person goes to whatever he is thinking of a the time of physical death, Arjuna, because his mind established that direction.


But then it gets even more specific...

8.12 This is the effective yoga technique: At the time of leaving the body, mentally withdraw attention from the gates of the body into the heart area, and from there direct the prana into the head.


8.13 Then say aloud or think of the sacred word, OM, which is the manifestation of Brahman; and you wil lleave the body and achieve the supreme goal.


Easy, I suppose it might just take a lifetime of preparation.  Do you have any other tips?

Here is also Krishna's advise should you find yourself without a job (like I did), before you die.
