According to the teachings in the Satcharitra, what is the root cause of being trapped in the cycle of birth and death, and what is true 'death'?

The Satcharitra explains that the cycle of worldly existence, or Samsara, is perpetuated by a fundamental delusion. Chapter 37 clarifies that a person who believes 'Parabrahman is different from me; I am not that'—essentially, one who holds a sense of separation from the ultimate reality—is always subject to death and rebirth. This knowledge of difference causes the cycle to turn eternally. The text redefines 'death' not just as a physical event but as being ensnared by the 'nooses' of unrighteousness (adharma), ignorance, anger, and hatred. To truly enter the divine state, one must cross beyond these negative qualities entirely.
