In Chapter 37, death is defined not as an end but as a transition within a larger cosmic cycle. It is the moment when that which has come into a 'manifest' form from the 'unmanifest' returns to the unmanifest state. Beyond this metaphysical process, the chapter identifies the true spiritual snares that bind one to mortality, referring to "Adharma (unrighteousness), ignorance, anger, and hatred" as the "nooses of death." Therefore, the text suggests that death is a recurring experience for those caught by these spiritual failings, and liberation is achieved by crossing beyond them.
