What leads to the cycle of birth and death (Samsara), and how is it related to the perception of Brahman?

📖 Chapter 37

Chapter 37 explains that the cycle of worldly existence, or Samsara, where death follows birth and rebirth follows death, is perpetuated by a specific kind of ignorance. This ignorance is the knowledge of difference, the belief that the ultimate reality, Parabrahman, is different from oneself. The text states, "'Parabrahman is different from me; I am not that, I am something else'—he who has such knowledge of difference is always subject to death." This delusion of separation, where a soul fails to recognize the non-dual nature of reality, is what eternally turns the wheel of Samsara.
