How does mere life or death here confer mukti? It is difficult to understand.

Devotee:  How does mere life or death here confer mukti? It is difficult to understand.

Ramana Mahariahi:  Darsanad Abhrasadasi jananat Kamalalaye, Kasyantu maranam
muktih smaranad Arunachale.
“To see Chidambaram, to be born in Tiruvarur, to die in Benares, or merely to think of Arunachala, is to be assured of Liberation.” Jananat Kamalalaye means “by being born in Kamalalaya”. What  is it? It is the Heart. Similarly, Abhrasadasi - Seat of Consciousness. Again, Kasi is  the Light of Realisation. Remembering Arunachala completes the verse. It must also be understood in the same sense.
