Let him therefore always slowly accumulate spiritual merit, in order that it may be his companion after death. For with merit as his companion he will traverse a gloom difficult to traverse. That companion speedily conducts the man who is devoted to duty and effaces his sins by austerities, to the next world, radiant and clothed with an ethereal body.",
