Chapter 24 mentions that some people are 'blind despite having eyes.' What does the text suggest is the cause and consequence of this type of blindness?

In a philosophical observation within Chapter 24, the text describes a spiritual blindness affecting people who are not physically blind. The cause of this condition is identified as the 'strength of their body-consciousness,' which prevents them from understanding their own true welfare. This intense focus on the physical self leads them to chase momentary pleasures, described as spreading one's 'lap' to 'taste the juice of a momentary pleasure.' The text laments that the body's existence is uncertain even for a moment, yet people remain blind to this reality, failing to pursue higher, more permanent goals.
