What are the consequences of believing oneself to be separate from Parabrahman?

The text warns that perceiving a difference between oneself and the ultimate reality is a significant spiritual error. As explained in Chapter 37, a person who holds the belief, "Parabrahman is different from me; I am not that," is considered deluded by ignorance. The direct consequence of this knowledge of difference is that the individual remains perpetually subject to death. This belief traps them in the eternal cycle of worldly existence, or Samsara, where death follows birth and rebirth follows death without end.
