Commentary

Okay, so like, your last thoughts before you, like, *actually* die? They totally decide what your next life's gonna be. Whatever's been on your mind the most, that's what's gonna stick with you. It's like, the ultimate vibe check before you respawn. It's all about the karmic baggage you've been lugging around. If you've been all about worshipping your fave deity, then boom, you're vibing with them in the afterlife. It's like that wasp-caterpillar thing – the caterpillar's obsessed with the wasp, and guess what? It turns into a wasp! Same thing with you and your deity. If you're all about that immortal self-love, you'll be chilling in eternal bliss. But if you're all about your body and that fleeting clout, you're stuck in the cycle of reincarnation. Think about Raja Jadabharata – dude was obsessed with his deer, and guess what? He became a deer! It's all about your mindset, your whole vibe. Your desires, your hopes, your whole personality – it's all built up from your past experiences. If you're all about the material world, you're gonna be stuck in that loop. But if you're all about spiritual growth, you're gonna level up. It's all about what you focus on. At the end of the day, your last thoughts are like the ultimate save point. If you're all about God, you'll be with God. It's that simple. No cap.
