At death there is the falling off of the physical body, but the mind, psych and personality created during one's life continue without the anchor of the body. Without this anchor we drift aimlessly into the disturbances of mind and psyche that remain. Therefore what occurs after death is directly associated with what one does in life. Adi Da goes on to suggest that it would be best to associate and use one's lifetime to grow beyond the limits 'body only' point of view and associate with that which trsnscends the body and the limitations of this life.
