What does Chapter 47 say about the Law of Karma and the cycle of rebirth?

Chapter 47 presents the Law of Karma as a very deep and profound concept that no one can fully comprehend. It notes that even the highly learned can be deceived by its complexities, while the ignorant but faithful can be saved. The chapter explains that one's actions directly influence their future births, stating that one attains a birth corresponding exactly to one's actions upon death. This divine rule is described as difficult to cross. Therefore, Chapter 47 strongly advises individuals to perform their worldly duties and use the priceless opportunity of human birth to attain self-knowledge before the body falls, thus avoiding a downfall.
