We shall also see this in the future. Those who have become immobile, those who have lost the capacity to move forward, obstruct the path of dynamism. Those who don’t have the inborn capacity to move forward, that is the plants and animals, should not be criticized. But those who have the capacity, but don’t have the desire to use it, should be condemned, not because they are immobile, but because they are knowingly or unknowingly obstructing the movement of others.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}} | {{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=In the past we observed that those who lost the very spirit of dynamism were the first to be thrown into the dustbin of history.

Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that | Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that everywhere in the universe we find that there is a system. As electrons move around the atomic nucleus and planets whirl around the sun, so do all unit beings rotate around the center of the cosmological order (Brahma Cakra). Anandamurti then explains that in this hub of the cosmic wheel two forces are working: avidyá shakti is the force that pulls the jiivas further away from Brahma either by depraving thoughts or sinful actions and vidyá shakti is the force that brings the devotees closer to Brahma with the help of samvit shakti ( a decision to become a good person) and hládinii shakti (a decision to become a spiritual practitioner). Anandamurti goes on saying that human beings have to cast aside lethargy and become active in promoting the welfare of all. Human beings have to think internally that they are not inferior to anyone. They possess enough capabilities to do good work, not for their own promotion but for the uplift of humanity.<ref name="AV4"/> | ||
