According to Chapter 47, the law of Karma is described as being very deep and difficult for anyone to fully comprehend, to the point that even the highly learned can be deceived by it. The chapter emphasizes that one's actions directly determine their fate, especially after death. It states that by committing great sins, one attains a new birth that corresponds exactly to their actions. The text further explains, "Births happen according to one's wisdom (consciousness)," and a person receives a body precisely like what they have earned. Therefore, Chapter 47 advises using the priceless opportunity of human birth to attain self-knowledge before the body falls.
