According to Chapter 17, why do some people choose the path of Preya even when the path of Shreya is available?

Chapter 17 details why many individuals choose the path of Preya, which is the pursuit of worldly pleasure. This choice stems from a lack of discrimination and detachment. As long as one has an obsession with gold, women, and the craving for sensory objects, Preya will seem sweet. The text notes that dull-witted individuals, caught in the cycle of maintaining their body, family, and wealth, are conquered by Preya and embrace it. Even when both paths are presented, making the right choice is difficult, and those without discrimination are incapable of making the distinction, thus falling for the allure of Preya.
