If he is My devotee and at the time of death he has become like 'kashtha pashana sannibham', like a stone, like wood, and is not in a state to remember Me, then 'Aham smarami'. I remember him. And if he cannot come here, I will go to him. And I will liberate him. 'Samsara sagarat uddharami'. I liberate him. God has given such a guarantee. But if that devotee, the devotee is holding onto someone else, like Bharatji holding onto the deer, then He says, 'Then it is my turn.' Then I leave him.
