According to Chapter 47, how does the law of Karma function in relation to birth and death?

Chapter 47 explains that the law of Karma is profoundly deep and difficult to comprehend, yet it governs the cycle of life and death. The text warns that by committing sins, one meets death and "attains a birth corresponding exactly to one's actions." It clarifies that births occur according to one's consciousness and that beings receive a body precisely like what they have earned through their deeds. As stated in Chapter 47, this divine rule is difficult to cross, and one must perform their worldly duties diligently. The chapter concludes by defining a truly wise person as one who uses the "priceless opportunity of human birth" to attain self-knowledge before the body falls, thus breaking the cycle.
