Educational Q&A
True liberating knowledge is ‘seedless’ (nirbīja): it destroys the latent capacity of desires and karmic impressions to sprout again. Even when one encounters sense-objects (a fertile ‘field’), the mind does not generate fresh attachment or bondage—like a roasted seed that cannot germinate.
King Janaka is explaining the effect of the instruction he received from his renunciant teacher Pañcaśikha. Using the metaphor of a roasted seed, he states that his realized knowledge no longer produces worldly craving when exposed to objects of enjoyment.
