According to Chapter 37, what is the primary reason an individual remains trapped in the cycle of birth and death, and what is the role of Parabrahman in this context?

📖 Chapter 37

The root cause for being perpetually caught in the cycle of worldly existence (Samsara) is identified in Chapter 37 as a fundamental ignorance that creates a sense of duality. This ignorance is the belief that "Parabrahman is different from me; I am not that." The text clarifies that the same divine principle, Parabrahman, pervades everything, from the creator down to a blade of grass. However, a soul deluded by this ignorance fails to recognize this universal unity and perceives itself as a separate entity. It is this specific "knowledge of difference" that subjects the soul to the unending cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.
