Parama Puruśa Doesn't Hate Anyone is a discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti in Kolkata, India. The discourse was delivered in English on the evening of 1978 November 3. This discourse is the eighth chapter of Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 4.[1]
Synopsis
To live in this physical world, to preserve our existence, Artha or money is essential. However, we also require Paramártha. Paramártha is that factor which brings about the permanent cessation of the triple afflictions. Here permanent cessation means cessation of those afflictions which, once removed, will never return again in the future. That Artha which brings permanent relief from the pangs of hunger, which is the instrument of permanent cessation, is called “Paramártha”.
Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that human beings are bound by fetters on all three levels (physical, psychic and spiritual). Shiva, on the other hand is free from all bondage. Anandamurti then explains that people get some temporary relief from these shackles with the help of food or money but only the attainment of complete liberation through merging with God can satisfy all their longings (Artha vs Paramartha). Anandamurti goes on saying that although maya (Creative Principle, One aspect of Máyá is the power to cause the illusion that the finite created objects are the ultimate truth) has such a strong hold on Human's mind, one should never forget that her power belongs to the Infinite entity. The best thing to do is to take shelter in the lap of Parama purusha and remember that We all are Hi's loving children.[1]
