In Simple Terms
The endless cycle — being born, acting, dying, and being reborn — until liberation ends it.
Overview
The cycle of birth, death, and rebirth driven by karma and unfulfilled desire. Chapters 8 and 15 describe the paths that lead to rebirth and the one path that ends the cycle.
Why It Matters
Samsara is what the Gita is a solution to. Every teaching aims at ending this cycle or making it conscious.
