The Three Vital Factors is a discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti on 1964 December 9 in Salem, India. This discourse is the first chapter of Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 33.[1]
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 body) and Bhágavata dharma (longing for infinite happiness). Human beings are different from animals in their ability to achieve unlimited happiness (ananta). Anandamurti then explains that Bhágavata dharma consists of four elements: Paramátmá (this quality is only attributed to the Supreme Consciousness) ), vistára (expansion), rasa (cosmic flow) and sevá (service). Anandamurti goes on saying that service is of two types: external service (physical, martial, economic and intellectual service) and internal service (directing the mind toward the Supreme goal in meditation).[1]
