Based on Chapter 17, what are the characteristics of a person who is unable to find peace or benefit from knowledge?

πŸ“– Chapter 17

Chapter 17 provides a clear description of individuals who cannot find peace, even if they are considered 'learned.' It states that a person who is constantly restless, whose heart is unsatisfied, and whose mind is perpetually distracted by the greed of the senses will not find peace, regardless of their knowledge. The chapter also questions the benefit of being learned if one is constantly engaged in sinful deeds prohibited by scriptures and does not know right from wrong. In essence, as explained in Chapter 17, knowledge is rendered useless if one's actions are unrighteous and their mind is a slave to sensory greed and restlessness.
