Chapter 09: Devahuti attains perfection
Devahuti lived a fully exemplary life, fulfilling the role of ideal daughter, ideal wife and ideal mother. Now, at the end of her life, Devahuti gives us the perfect example of someone determined to go back to Godhead, becoming indifferent to the material comforts surrounding her, and even to her own body, becoming instead fixed in meditation on the Supreme Lord.
During our lives, we can be helped by others in many ways, but at the time of death we have to fly our own plane, relying only on whatever knowledge and spiritual realization we have collected during our lifetimes. During her youth, Devahuti received the help of her husband and, later, of her son, but now, at the end of her life, she had to focus on her own self-realization using the knowledge she had received from them. By following her glorious example, we can also find our way back to Godhead.
