Verse 359. Those Without The Bane Of Greed

Weed are the fault of fields,
delusion, human’s faults,
so gifts to the desireless
bear abundant fruit.

Explanation: Fields have weeds as their bane. The ordinary masses have passion as their bane. Therefore, high yields are possible only through what is given to the one without desire.
