Chapter 47 delves into the profound law of Karma, describing it as 'very deep; no one can comprehend it.' The chapter teaches that one's actions in this life have direct consequences, leading to a corresponding birth after death. It states, 'As the action, so the hearing,' and that beings receive a body 'exactly like what they have earned.' The text further elaborates that 'births happen according to one's wisdom (consciousness).' Therefore, Chapter 47 advises readers to perform their worldly duties diligently and to use the 'priceless opportunity of human birth' to attain self-knowledge before the body perishes, defining this as the path of the truly wise.
