Chapter 47 delves into the profound and often incomprehensible nature of Karma. It explains that the "law of Karma is very deep," so much so that even the highly learned can be deceived by it, while the ignorant but faithful are saved. The chapter posits that one's actions directly influence their subsequent births, stating that by committing sins, one "attains a birth corresponding exactly to one's actions." Therefore, it advises readers to perform their worldly duties diligently and not waste the "priceless opportunity of human birth." The text suggests that true wisdom lies in pursuing self-knowledge before the body falls, thus navigating the difficult divine rule of Karma.
