Does remembering the name of Rama at the final moment bring liberation?

"True liberation comes not from a last-minute chant, but from a lifetime of devotion that allows the name of Rama to arise naturally in the final moment."
According to Osho, remembering Rama at the final moment can liberate you—but only if that remembrance arises naturally from a lifetime of practice. The last thought at death seeds the next birth, just as the last thought before sleep returns on waking. Last-minute chanting or prompting won't work; sustained devotion, meditation, and value realignment cultivate the spontaneous, final remembrance that transforms one's journey.
It only works if you've remembered God your whole life, because your last thought follows your habits, not a last‑minute word.
Why this matters practically
- Practice daily remembrance/meditation so it becomes your default thought.
- Loosen attachments (wealth, status) and live what you wish to remember at death.
- Prepare for conscious dying now; steady habits beat last-minute fixes.
