Our life is based upon our deeds; the actions we commit are recorded by angels that are present with us all the time. There is no hiding from them, they write down an account of all our deeds. When the time of death comes the angel of death takes us to the court Dharam Raj (God of Justice) there we get judged and we will reap what we have sown. If one lives a righteous life and gets united with God while alive all our karma (actions) are erased and one doesn’t get taken by the angel of death but instead goes straight to God when he/she dies.
All do their deeds under the Lord's Glance of Grace; no one is beyond His Vision. ANG 66 SGGSJ
