Why: when the embodied being meets death while goodness is predominant, they attain the pure worlds of the wise, again tying the specific quality dominant at a person's final moment to the nature of what follows, echoing chapter eight's earlier teaching.

In life: this reinforces something already established, whatever quality dominates your ordinary days is quietly shaping what will likely be dominant during your hardest, most final moments too.

Teaching: treat your ordinary daily practice of cultivating clarity and goodness as directly relevant preparation for your hardest future moments, not a separate, optional pursuit disconnected from how you'll actually meet real difficulty later.
