When we die we leave everything behind, especially this body we have cherished so much and relied upon so blindly and tried so hard to keep alive. But our minds are no more dependable than our bodies. Just look at your mind for a few minutes.
You will see that it is like a flea, constantly hopping to and fro. You will see that thoughts arise without any reason, without any connection. Swept along by the chaos of every moment, we are the victims of the fickleness of our minds. If this is the only state of consciousness we are familiar with, then to rely on our minds at the moment of death is an absurd gamble.
(So, start training your mind now.)

The exalted Buddha once said:
Friends, I know of no other single thing, so quickly changing as this swift mind, insofar as it is not easy to find just one other phenomena changing equally fast. Shining bright, friends, is this mind, yet it is obstructed by external defilements. Naturally luminous, is that pure mind, when it is safely released and freed from these alien impurities. Innately radiant is this mind, though it is soiled by these accumulated foreign obscurations. This, the ordinary unlearned persons cannot
understand as it really is.. I tell you, that is why uneducated ordinary persons neither meditate, nor develop mentally. Luminous is that mind, friends, when it is purified and released from these fermented pollutions. This does the learned Noble disciple fully understand as it really is. I tell you, that is why that educated Noble disciple develops and steadily improves mentally by training meditation regularly. -
