Arjuna, who was listening to all this very closely, asked: “Kṛṣṇa! If one practises and observes these three marks without missing the aim, is that enough? Or are there still other marks of this kind? Tell me.” “Arjuna! Merely by putting in a crop, can the seedlings grow big? Can they bear fruit? Do they not need the proper water and manure? Can you not grasp even this much? The uprooting of hatred and the building up of friendliness of which I spoke earlier are no more than putting in the seedlings. For these, two chief nourishments are needed, called “nirmamaḥ” and “nirahaṅkāraḥ”; that is, they are like water and manure. Without these, no one, whoever he may be, can enjoy the crop of Ānanda,” the Lord explained.
