How does Chapter 47 describe the law of Karma and its consequences for birth?

Chapter 47 explains that the law of Karma is profoundly deep and difficult for anyone, even the highly learned, to fully comprehend. It posits that one's actions directly lead to corresponding consequences, especially after death. The text from Chapter 47 states, 'by committing great sins and meeting death, One attains a birth corresponding exactly to one's actions.' This means that the nature of one's next life, whether born from a womb or as a stationary object, is determined by the deeds and consciousness from the previous life. The chapter advises performing one's worldly duties diligently, highlighting that the priceless opportunity of human birth should be used to attain self-knowledge.
