What kind of worldly attachments does the text say are actually forms of ignorance?

📖 Chapter 50

Chapter 50 identifies several worldly attachments that are considered to be forms of ignorance, which prevent a person from attaining true self-knowledge. These obstacles include having a mind that is fixed on acquiring wealth and luxury, being unsatisfied in sense enjoyments, and constantly thinking about one's wife and sons. The text states that a person who is deluded by these attachments—money, children, and wife—does not know their own welfare, even if they are otherwise considered 'wise'. As long as a person is without devotion and entangled in these pursuits, their knowledge is said to be covered by ignorance.
