Śrī Īśopaniṣad
Śrī Īśopaniṣad  directs us towards such activities.
Unless one is accustomed to this devotional practice, what will he remember at the time of death when the body is dislocated, and how can he pray to the Almighty Lord to remember his sacrifices? Sacrifice means sacrificing the interest of the senses. One has to learn this art by employing the senses in the service of the Lord during one's lifetime, so that one can utilize the result at the time of death.

O my Lord, powerful as the fire, Omnipotent One, now I do offer You all obeisances, falling at Your Feet on the ground. O my Lord, please lead me on the right path to reach You, and, as You know all of what I have done in the past, please make me free from the reactions to my past sins, so that there will be no hindrance to my progress.
