Two meanings of the term Antakaala?

Bhagavan says in Gita that one who abides in the


understanding that Brahma satyam, jagat mithya, even at the
time of death, will never come back to samsara and becomes
one with Brahman.
Vidyaranya gives two meanings to antakaala or final moment.
He says it is the final moment or antakala to the person
confusion between advaita satya and dvaita mithya. He had
mixed up the two before and wrongly understood.
Discrimination between satyam and mithya is the antha kalam
and he attains oneness with Brahman.
Even if we take the meaning of Antakala as death or separation
from physical body and even at that time the jnani never thinks
I am dying and that kind of old thinking never comes back.
