Chapter 37 discusses the cycle of birth and death. What causes a soul to be trapped in this cycle, and what are considered the 'nooses of death'?

According to the teachings in Chapter 37, a soul becomes trapped in the eternal cycle of worldly existence, or Samsara, due to a specific form of ignorance. The chapter states that one who holds the knowledge of difference—believing "Parabrahman is different from me; I am not that"—is always subject to the cycle of birth and death. This delusion prevents liberation. Furthermore, Chapter 37 explicitly identifies Adharma (unrighteousness), ignorance, anger, and hatred as the 'nooses of death.' It is only by completely crossing these that one can enter a truly liberated state, free from the cycle of birth and death.
