In Chapter 37, death is presented not merely as the end of life but as a transition. The text explains that what comes from the unmanifest into a manifest form is called 'birth', and when it returns to the unmanifest, it is called 'death'. The chapter goes on to identify the true causes of spiritual demise, referring to them as the 'nooses of death.' These are identified as Adharma (unrighteousness), ignorance, anger, and hatred. According to this passage, one who successfully crosses beyond these negative qualities is the one who truly enters the heavenly world, which is described as a state of being rather than a physical place.
