In the "Supreme Direction" (also known as "Supreme Command"), Sarkar states that one should regularly perform ''sádhaná'' (spiritual practices, primarily meditation) twice a day so that the thought of Parama Puruśa will arise in the mind at the time of death and liberation may thereby be attained. He also told that failure to do such ''sádhaná'' might result in a very slow spiritual progress, requiring many, many lifetimes and hence millions of years of animalistic existence. | In the "Supreme Direction" (also known as "Supreme Command"), Sarkar states that one should regularly perform ''sádhaná'' (spiritual practices, primarily meditation) twice a day so that the thought of Parama Puruśa will arise in the mind at the time of death and liberation may thereby be attained.

A huge number of songs of [[Prabhat Samgiita]] address or contemplate Parama Puruśa. In all these songs Sarkar reveres Parama Puruśa. For example, [[Bandhu he niye calo|the very first song]] implores Parama Puruśa to show the way "unto the fountain of effulgence", to overcome the unbearable "pain of darkness". While describing the meaning of the song, Sarkar stated: "Paramapuruśa (the Supreme Consciousness) is the real friend." In [[Ogo priya ogo priya|song number 73]], the lyrics are about going through life only to attain Him (Bengali: তোমায় পেতে আলোর পথে চলি আমি). | A huge number of songs of [[Prabhat Samgiita]] address or contemplate Parama Puruśa.

According to Anandamurti, initially jiivas (i.e. individual beings) are different from Parama Puruśa and consider themselves as separate entities. but, but in the final stage of their [[sadhana]], and by the grace of Parama Purusa, they realize they are not separate from Parama Purusa and get unified with Him. Anandamurti-ji used the following metaphor to describe it— | According to Anandamurti, initially jiivas (i.e. individual beings) are different from Parama Puruśa and consider themselves as separate entities. but, but in the final stage of their [[sadhana]], and by the grace of Parama Purusa, they realize they are not separate from Parama Purusa and get unified with Him.
