{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=The falsehood which may exist today will not exist tomorrow. ''Yah ágacchati sah gacchati'' (whatever comes, goes). But satya is something which was in the past, which is today, and which will be in the future; and thus it is satya which ultimately triumphs. Untruth, being a moving phenomenon, may attain a temporary victory on its march, but never a permanent one. In Saḿskrta, permanent victory is called ''vijaya'' and temporary victory, ''jaya''. ''Satyameva jayate nánrtaḿ'' (only truth triumphs, not falsehood). Falsehood does not win because it is relative, it is ever-changing.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}}

Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that everything in this world is associated with fear in some way or another. ''Vaeragya'' (renunciation) is when one realizes the temporary nature of material objects with their related colors and thereafter no longer accepts domination by the constant fluctuations of pleasure and pain. Anandamurti then explains that the best abode for the mind is the Supreme Entity, the Entity free from all bondage. We obtain some knowledge from different transient objects (''Prapti''), but it tends to get quickly forgotten. On the other hand, the knowledge we obtain directly from the Supreme Entity (''Apti'') remains with us unfailingly. Anandamurti goes on saying that those who fill their minds with the Supreme Truth and always remain under His shelter will never be distracted by pettiness or selfishness. They will move fearlessly along the path of bliss and achieve their spiritual goal.<ref name="AV4"/>
