What worldly attachments are identified as obstacles to attaining true knowledge, even for someone who might be considered 'wise'?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 50

Chapter 50 clearly identifies several worldly attachments that act as significant barriers to true knowledge. Even if a person is considered 'wise' by worldly standards, their knowledge is dismissed as mere ignorance if their mind remains fixated on material concerns. The text specifies that a person whose mind is focused on acquiring wealth and luxury, who remains unsatisfied in sense enjoyment, and who is constantly thinking of their wife and sons, is considered deluded. Such an individual, captivated by money and family, does not know their own true welfare. The chapter concludes that as long as such a person is without devotion, their knowledge is covered by ignorance.
