No matter how good you are, you still need grace to get out of the material world. You can be a yogi or a monk or a nun, but without God’s grace you still can’t make it.
So it’s really a process of actually having a realization of God, which all becomes clear with the expanded state of consciousness that develops when you chant.
I believe what it says in the scriptures and in the Bhagavad Gita: ‘Never was there a time when you did not exist, and there never will be a time when you cease to exist.’
