Why: those who strive for liberation from old age and death, taking refuge in Krishna, come to know Brahman fully, along with the entire nature of the self and all action, naming liberation from mortality's fear as one real motivator for this pursuit.
In life: an unexamined fear of aging or death often quietly drives a lot of behavior, avoidance, overwork, denial, without being named directly.
Teaching: if fear of aging or mortality is quietly shaping your choices, bring it into the open rather than letting it operate unexamined in the background, naming it tends to loosen its grip.
