(Similarly, everyone will be captured by the laws of nature, but a devotee will be carried with great care to Vaikuṇṭha, and others will be thrown again into this material existence) 
Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Even if we are finished . . . we can be finished. We are . . . now modern life is that we are traveling in aeroplane. It can be crashed at any moment. But those who are ka-kara-kaa's, they'll be finished; and they are chanting, they will go to Vaikuṇṭha. Finishing will be there.
It is not that because we are Kṛṣṇa conscious we will not be finished. The example is that you'll be captured by the mouth of a cat, but when the cat captures with its mouth, its kitties they feel very good pleasure. And when he captures a rat, oh, it finished.
Similarly, everyone will be captured by the laws of nature, but a devotee will be carried with great care to Vaikuṇṭha, and others will be thrown again into this material existence. But people will say, "Oh, your devotee is also dying, and the non-devotee is dying," just like the foolish man.
The cat is capturing in the mouth both the kitty and the rat. They are not same thing. Apparently it seems that the same thing, but it is not the same thing."
(Prabhupada Lecture, February 8, 1969, Los Angeles)
