What are the 'nooses of death,' and what is the consequence of believing oneself to be separate from Parabrahman, based on Chapter 37?

📖 Chapter 37

Chapter 37 identifies several spiritual and psychological hindrances as the 'nooses of death.' These are explicitly listed as Adharma (unrighteousness), ignorance, anger, and hatred. The chapter suggests that crossing these entirely is how one enters the heavenly world. Furthermore, it explains the profound consequences of dualistic thinking. According to the text, a person who holds the knowledge of difference—believing 'Parabrahman is different from me; I am not that, I am something else'—is always subject to death. This belief traps the individual in the eternal cycle of worldly existence (Samsara), where death follows birth and rebirth follows death.
