How does Chapter 37 define death and what does it consider the 'nooses of death'?

📖 Chapter 37

According to the teachings presented in Chapter 37, death is not merely a biological end but a transition. The text explains that what comes into form from the unmanifest is called the 'manifest' state, and when it returns to the unmanifest, this process is called 'death'. Furthermore, the chapter identifies the true causes of spiritual death or bondage, referring to them as the "nooses of death." These are explicitly listed as Adharma (unrighteousness), ignorance, anger, and hatred. As stated in Chapter 37, the person who successfully crosses beyond these negative qualities is the one who truly enters the heavenly world, which is described as a state of being rather than a physical location.
