According to Chapter 37, death is simply the process of that which has come into form from the unmanifest returning to the unmanifest. The true 'nooses of death' are identified as unrighteousness, ignorance, anger, and hatred. The text questions the desire for a heavenly abode, describing it as merely a place for sensual enjoyment from which one falls once their merit is exhausted. It argues that this heavenly home is not worth pursuing if it lacks the remembrance of God. True heaven is described not as a place, but as a state of being—the Virat Self-form, free from mental grief, disease, and the fear of death.
