Chapter 12 discusses the concept of 'Paramartha' or the spiritual supreme goal. How does it describe people who are ignorant of this goal, and what is the recommended approach towards them?

Chapter 12 addresses those who are ignorant of the spiritual supreme goal, or 'Paramartha.' It describes them as individuals who wallow in the desire for wife, son, and wealth. However, instead of condemning them, the chapter suggests a compassionate approach. It states that God affectionately caresses such ignorant and innocent ones and that a saint might even devote his life to them. The text emphasizes that firm faith will eventually manifest in them, considering the 'stiffness of dry knowledge' to be fruitless in comparison.
