Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that in both the vedas and tantras it has been said that only the Supreme entity should be taken as the object of mind. He then explains the word "smrti" - an internal recreation of an object of mind or memory. The best repetition, recreation of mind and goal is the Supreme Lord. Anandamurti goes on explaining that [[Parama Purusha]] in order to cross the turbulent waters of our past deeds, we must take Him as our only shelter.<ref name="AV2"/> | Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that as Pratyahara should be connected with Dharana, just as Pranayama is connected with a point in meditation. in both the vedas and tantras it has been said that only the Supreme entity should be taken as the object of mind.
