Chapter 8 in the Gita is about death. That’s what everyone says. So gloomy, so moribund.
But my Guru has a different take.
He says it’s about the 3 Ls.
The art of Living.
The art of Loving.
And then and only then, the art of Leaving.
Yes Lord Krishna talks about death, and what one should do at the time of death (i.e. think of Him). But that’s not easy, and doesn’t come at the last minute (literally!).
We need to Live a life of Love for the Lord, and then all of a sudden, the Leaving will become an art.
