Chapter 47 provides a detailed explanation of the law of Karma, describing it as very deep and difficult for anyone to fully comprehend. It states that even the highly learned can be deceived by its complexities, while the ignorant who have faith may be saved. According to this chapter, one's actions have direct consequences, and after death, a person "attains a birth corresponding exactly to one's actions." The text further elaborates that births happen according to one's consciousness and accumulated deeds. Therefore, as Chapter 47 warns, it is crucial to perform worldly duties and avoid sin, making the most of the "priceless opportunity of human birth" to pursue self-knowledge.
