Can you explain the connection between seeing oneself as separate from the divine and the cycle of birth and death?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 37

Chapter 37 presents a profound philosophical concept regarding the cycle of worldly existence, or Samsara. It states that this cycle is perpetuated by a specific kind of ignorance. When a person, deluded by this ignorance, maintains the thought, 'Parabrahman is different from me; I am not that,' they create a sense of separation and duality. According to the text, anyone who possesses this 'knowledge of difference' is perpetually subject to death following birth, and rebirth following death. This implies that liberation from the endless cycle of Samsara is achieved by dissolving this illusion of separation and realizing the non-dual nature of existence.
