The Satcharitra mentions 'nooses of death'. What are they, and how do they lead to the cycle of rebirth?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 37

Chapter 37 explains that the true 'nooses of death' are not external forces but internal states: Adharma (unrighteousness), ignorance, anger, and hatred. This same chapter further clarifies that the root of being subject to the cycle of worldly existence (Samsara) is the deluded knowledge of difference, where a person thinks, "Parabrahman is different from me; I am not that." This sense of separation from the ultimate reality is a form of ignorance that causes the soul to be eternally followed by the cycle of death and rebirth. Escaping these nooses is equated with crossing into a divine state.
