Chapter 37 explains that the cycle of worldly existence, or Samsara, is driven by a deluded perception of duality. It states that an individual who believes "Parabrahman is different from me; I am not that" is always subject to death. This sense of separation and ignorance is the root cause. The text explicitly mentions that for such a person, death follows birth, and rebirth follows death in an eternal, turning cycle. Furthermore, Chapter 37 identifies adharma (unrighteousness), ignorance, anger, and hatred as the "nooses of death," implying that overcoming these is essential to breaking free from the cycle.
