Chapter 37 presents a profound view on these concepts. It defines 'death' not as a physical end but as a state caused by the 'nooses' of unrighteousness, ignorance, anger, and hatred. Conversely, the true 'heavenly state' is described as a fearless mental state free from disease, worry, and sorrow, which can be achieved by crossing these negative traits. The text cautions against desiring a conventional heaven, which is merely a place for temporary sensual enjoyment from which one falls after their merit is exhausted. The cycle of rebirth is said to continue for those who believe themselves to be separate from the Parabrahman, the all-pervading reality.
