Devotion can be divided into a few categories such as static, rajasic and satvic. Someone may be of a less selfish nature and only ask to be liberated in her old age, but since her desire was for liberation and not for God, she will not be able to attain Him. The highest type of devotion is called ''rágátmika bhakti'' where devotees only want to give joy to the Lord, regardless of whether they receive pleasure or pain in the process.

Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that one must possess some qualifications in order to be able to do any activity. Parvati once asked Lord Shiiva who is eligible to follow the spiritual path. Shiiva's reply was that the first qualification is to possess a human body. Anandamurti then explains that human beings are predominated by intellect; unlike animals, humans with the help of their mind are able to control their inborn instincts. This makes them dependable.
