How does Chapter 17 characterize a person who is 'dull-witted' or ignorant in their spiritual choices?

Chapter 17 provides a clear characterization of a 'dull-witted' or ignorant person. Such an individual is conquered by Preya (the path of worldly joy) and embraces it, even when the choice to adopt Shreya (the path of salvation) is within their control. They are caught in the cycle of maintaining their body, cattle, children, and wealth. The text states that even if they are considered 'learned,' if they are constantly wallowing in sinful deeds and cannot distinguish right from wrong, their knowledge is of no benefit. Their heart is unsatisfied, and their mind is distracted by the greed of the senses, preventing them from finding peace.
