This is again a personal thought. Unverified, but still may resonate with a few others who would have similar third person view on this topic.
I normally think and would verify internally how it's mentioned in gita or any other reference books which i have read. Maybe the thoughts have already been shaped by reading these books or stories. But nevertheless.
The end goal of any being is peace. Realising that the being is not a separate self. That he/she is part of the universe which moves on its own. Realising that he/she can at most just observe the cosmic game, of its past or present or future.
When the body would not be able to carry the being, the state of the being should be in path to the above realisation. Eventual destination of all beings would be this above realisation only, but if someone wants to pace up the realisation, he/she should strive to follow the processes to achieve this state.
Discipline for training the body to handle any unexpected harm (injury or illness or any other setback) would be needed, so that the mind is still focussed on the path. Any work should be happening at such a depth where the being forgets that he/she is the doer. His/her involvement would be so much that the body works on autopilot mode, and as soon as work is done, he/she ensures that there is no compromise happening on the path. This may happen subconsciously or consciously by discipline. But at the same time, ego has to be kept in check, which could obstruct in the path by telling to mind that it is 'me' who is having this discipline, no one else ... etc. A healthy body can keep this as a daily routine. Leaving body anytime in this state would be keeping the being closer to path. It would also matter what the person is remembering at the time of leaving the body, but that is a different topic and I can not think much about it.
For unhealthy bodies, the challenge is greater. The unhealthy bodies would not let the being think with determination, may even obstruct in thinking itself. They may need external help. Environmental calmness, daily routine, making habits of reciting prayers, chants for connection with the flow of the universe may tune the bodies and beings in sync.
