Anandamurti starts the discourse by stating that there are three categories of devotees. The best devotee would be the one who thinks [[Parama Purusa]] belongs to her/him only and to no one else. Anandamurti explains that for devotion to occur, the object of ideation should be only Parama Purusa. That ideation must persist until one merges in Him (a unilateral movement).<ref name="AV12" /> | |||
Anandamurti | Anandamurti continues by stating that a devotee always becomes a universalist. Because the object of the devotee's ideation is unlimited and all pervasive, the devotee cannot hate anyone. Rather, the devotee wants to serve all entities and looks upon them as the creation of the one infinite source.<ref name="AV12" /> | ||
