Chapter 37 explains that 'death' is more than just the physical body ceasing to exist. The text defines the true "nooses of death" as Adharma (unrighteousness), ignorance, anger, and hatred. It further elaborates that a person who holds a sense of difference, believing "Parabrahman is different from me," is always subject to death. This mistaken belief traps the soul in the eternal cycle of worldly existence (Samsara), where death follows birth and rebirth follows death. Therefore, death is seen as a state of spiritual ignorance and separation from the divine, which one must cross to attain a fearless state.
