The source material from Chapter 37 identifies the root cause of being trapped in the eternal cycle of worldly existence, or Samsara. The primary cause is a deluded sense of separation from the divine. The text states that when a person, due to ignorance, believes "Parabrahman is different from me; I am not that, I am something else," they create a knowledge of difference. It is this perception of duality and separation that subjects the individual to the endless cycle where death follows birth and rebirth follows death.
