94 Sri Isopanisad
Sri Isopanisad 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 re-
member 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.

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.
