Chapter 50 provides clear descriptions of a mindset rooted in ignorance. Internally, it is the negative self-perception of being a "sinner, unfortunate, luckless," which is called the "mine of 'Avidya'." Externally, this ignorance is demonstrated by a person whose mind is fixated on worldly pursuits. The text specifies someone whose mind is set on "wealth and luxury," is "unsatisfied in sense enjoyment," and is "constantly thinking of wife and sons." Such a person, deluded by these attachments, is said to not know their own welfare, and any knowledge they possess is considered to be covered by ignorance until they cultivate devotion.
