Let all those flowers develop, and let the final movement of all those expressions of charm and fascination be goaded unto Parama Puruśa.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}}
{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=I said just now, the mind cannot remain vacant. Whenever there is no important job to do, do not waste your time in idle thinking, because idle thinking means mental deterioration, mental degradation, psychic degeneration. So utilize each and every moment of your life in doing something good, in thinking something good. When you are not physically doing something good, then mentally do something good. And the best mental work, the best mental engagement, is kiirtaniiyah sadá harih – “Do the kiirtana of Parama Puruśa.”.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}}
Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that its the ''dharma'' (innate characteristic) of human beings to become acquainted with the world of aesthetics and mysticism while moving beyond the periphery of material life. Anandamurti then says that its the duty of spiritualists to help the common people discover the subtle joys of aesthetics. Only then they can get a glimpse into sublime, mystical thought. Anandamurti goes on explaining that human life resembles a garden of many flowers. Each flower has its charming expression. Each flower must be guided toward [[Parama Purusa]]. Pleasing the Supreme Being is the purpose of all human entities.<ref name="AV34"/>
Anandamurti starts the discourse by inroducing a ''shloka'' (verse) given by [[:wikipedia:Chaitanya Mahaprabhu|Chaitanya Mahaprabhu]]: ''Trńádapi suniicena taroriva sahiśńuná; Amániinaḿ mánadena kiirtaniyah sadá Harih.'' A person has to become very humble and extremely tolerant and pay deference to those who are deprived and distressed. Anandamurti then explains that it would be best to engross the mind with psycho-spiritual or purely spiritual thoughts, as in singing kiirtan to the Lord. Anandamurti goes on explaining that ''Hari'' means the one who steals. Out of great love for His devotees, [[Parama Purusa]] stealthily removes their sins.<ref name="AV34"/>
