According to the teachings in Chapter 37, what is the true nature of heaven and how does it relate to death?

📖 Chapter 37

Chapter 37 offers a profound reinterpretation of heaven and death. It explains that what people call 'death' is merely the transition of a form from the manifest state back to the unmanifest. The true "nooses of death" are identified as unrighteousness, ignorance, anger, and hatred. As detailed in this chapter, heaven is not a physical place but a state of being—the Vairaj, or the Cosmic Self-form. This heavenly state is characterized by freedom from mental grief, disease, worry, hunger, and the fear of death or old age. It is a state of fearlessness and non-duality. The chapter dismisses the conventional idea of a heavenly home for sensual enjoyment, especially if it lacks the remembrance of God.
