According to Chapter 37, the conventional fear of death and desire for heaven are based on a misunderstanding. Death is defined simply as the transition from the manifest state back to the unmanifest. The true 'nooses of death' are identified not as a physical end, but as adharma (unrighteousness), ignorance, anger, and hatred. The text redefines heaven not as a physical location, but as a state of being—the Vairaj or Cosmic Self-form—which is free from mental grief, disease, worry, and fear. This divine state, where the soul moves fearlessly, is the true goal, rather than a temporary heavenly abode.
