According to the teachings in Chapter 37, what causes an individual to be trapped in the cycle of birth and death, and what is the path to liberation?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 37

According to the philosophical insights in Chapter 37, an individual becomes subject to the eternal cycle of worldly existence (Samsara) due to a fundamental ignorance. This ignorance manifests as the perception of difference, where one believes, "Parabrahman is different from me; I am not that." This sense of separation keeps the soul bound, leading to the cycle where death follows birth and rebirth follows death. The chapter identifies adharma (unrighteousness), ignorance, anger, and hatred as the "nooses of death." The path to liberation, or entering the true "heavenly world," involves crossing these nooses entirely and realizing the underlying unity of all existence.
