How does Chapter 47 explain the principles of Karma and rebirth?

Chapter 47 presents the law of Karma as very deep and difficult to comprehend, stating that even the highly learned can be deceived by it. The text explains that upon death, one "attains a birth corresponding exactly to one's actions." It further elaborates on this by noting that "births happen according to one's wisdom (consciousness)" and that beings receive a body precisely like what they have earned. As Chapter 47 teaches, this inescapable divine rule underscores the importance of one's conduct. The chapter concludes by defining a truly wise person as one who does not waste the "priceless opportunity of human birth" but instead uses it to attain self-knowledge before the body perishes, thus breaking the cycle.
