He states that even those who cause the most harm to society continue to be members of the human family. As such, they are entitled to seek refuge in the Lord. Anandamurti presents the path to liberation for the sudurácárii thereby guaranteeing a bright future even for those whom society considers the worst. At the end of the discourse, Anandamurti offers solace for all with the words, "Parama Puruśa is your closest friend. You are never alone. He cannot be indifferent to your sufferings. He feels your pain. Act as per His biddings and get free from your sufferings."
