Synopsis
You know, to unite and to unify are two different things. When sand and sugar are mixed together, that physical mixture is unity. They are united: sand and sugar are united. But when water comes in contact with sugar, it is a case of unification. We get sarvat [syrup]. In sarvat, we will not find those separate entities of sugar and water. So your union with the Supreme Father will not be a case of unity, but a case of unification. That supreme unification is the goal of your life, and your march towards Him should be done through three vital factors.
Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that Dharma can be separated into two categories: svábhávika dharma (pertaining to the sustenance of the integral body) and Bhágavata dharma (longing for infinite happiness). Human life differentiates from animal life through the ability to achieve unlimited happiness (ananta). Anandamurti then explains that Bhágavata dharma consists of four elements: Paramátmá (this role is not in the capacity of unit beings), vistára (expansion), rasa (cosmic flow) and the three factors in the movement towards the Supreme are: Prańipáta (self surrender), pariprashna (questions pertaining to the spiritual goal and not as a mere intellectual debate) and sevá (service). Anandamurti goes on saying that service is of two types: spiritual aspirants will come in contact with God through these three aforementioned elements.[1]
