Either if there is a tamasik state of mind, they get disoriented and go to Bhagwan's abode, leaving the body. If a rajoguni state of mind has come, if the flow of Rajoguna has come, then with thoughts in the mind like "this is pending, this is pending, this is pending," leaving the body in distress, that is called rajoguni activity. And if there is satvaguni activity, then he thinks of something good, like "it would have been good if I had done such a good deed," or "it is pending to be done." Such thoughts of Sattvaguna arise. And nirguna means to do something for the sake of Bhagwan; that is called nirguna. That is, he remembers what he did for the sake of Bhagwan, or he remembers Bhagwan. In short, at the end of life, rather than what was done, if Bhagwan is remembered, then it is called nirguna. What? At the end of life, if one remembers that the seva of Bhagwan was left undone, is that called nirguna or what? Then one has to take another birth. If, at the end of life, one remembers the seva of Bhagwan, saying "it was left undone by me," then one has to take another birth. So, that nirguna, whatever it may be called, cannot be called nirguna. If it causes birth, then nirguna—nirguna means liberated—it cannot be called liberated. That is called extreme Sattvaguna. It is called Sattvaguna, meaning it does not cause much harm, but it does cause birth and death. All histories say so. When Narayandas Swami was about to go to the divine abode, Swami stood before Thakorji and prayed, "Maharaj, there was no inauspicious vasana from the beginning, but there was auspicious vasana." In today's language, to increase Maharaj's brand, to increase the pride of the Sampraday, to do such good deeds. So Swami had done such great deeds, like laying marble in the circumambulation path of the Junagadh temple, taking Ganapati and Hanumanji, who were below the temple, and placing them above, building temples in Una, such deeds that would increase the pride of the Sampraday and increase the brand of the Sampraday. And after that, at the end of life, Swami came to Maharaj and said, "Now, I have left that too from today." If a good action or a desire to do good work remains pending in the mind, then again one has to undergo birth and death. Maharaj says, "From this world, one must become free of vasana somehow, even if there is good in this world. From this world, one must become free of vasana." So that cannot be called nirguna. Nirguna means, firstly, only the desire related to Bhagwan's murti murti 1) Sacred idol of Bhagvãn used to offer worship. There are eight types of murtis that can be worshipped: stone, wood, metal, earth, engraved or drawn, sand, gems, and mental. 2) The form of Bhagvãn.

Tap to open in glossary → until then, if we make good plans, then it is called nirguna. If we make plans to please Bhagwan, make plans to become a servant of Bhagwan, make plans to increase Bhagwan's brand, then it is called nirguna state. Other than that, if there is anything else, it is called triguna. Whether it is a good deed, sometimes rajoguni, sometimes tamoguni, then they are all called triguna. It cannot be said to be related to Bhagwan. One who dies during the increase of Sattvaguna goes to heaven. If death occurs during the increase of Rajoguna, he takes birth in the human world. And if life departs when Tamoguna is dominant, he falls into hell. And the devotees who have attained the state of nirguna attain Me alone. That is why Bhagwan said in the Gita, "Nehabhikrama nasho'sti pratyavayo na vidyate, svalpamapyasya dharmasya trayate mahato bhayat." That glory which is spoken of is the glory of the nirguna state. "Nehabhikrama nasho'sti"—even if he has made a resolve, that resolve is never destroyed. If a resolve to do seva of Bhagwan or to please Bhagwan has been made, like "this is left undone by me" at the end of life, then it is called nirguna, but it causes birth. Just as Bharatji's resolve was only to worship Bhagwan, but when an obstacle came again, at the end of life, he felt affection for that deer calf, so it caused him to take birth.

Those who are close, like us, thinking "now a little is left for us, not much now" [laughs], they should make such preparation. Those who are not close, it doesn't matter, they should prepare to please Him. If Bhagwan is pleased with him, then it doesn't matter, and one whose death is near should make such preparation. Let nothing else interfere; good things should not be remembered. What is considered good in this world, like increasing Bhagwan's brand, increasing the brand of satsang satsang 1) True company. The practice of associating with Bhagvãn’s sant, other satsangis, the ãtmã, and the sacred shãstras, and also observing vartmãns and niyams. 2) Also refers to the sampradãy, which is the presence of good company.

Then it is called nirguna. If life departs when Tamoguna is dominant, he falls into hell. And the devotees who have attained the state of nirguna attain Me alone. Just as by association with Gangajal... when Shastriji Maharaj was about to go to the divine abode, Krishnapriya Swami used to talk about it many times. In the last days, Swami remembered only those great sadhus. He remembered Balmukund Swami and those whom Swami had darshan darshan Seeing. To see with admiration and devotion. To see Bhagvãn, a sat-purush, and murtis, with inner or outer vision, with the intention of receiving their grace and blessings.
