{{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. 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 everything in the universe works in a systematic order. 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 at work: ''avidyá shakti'' is the force that pulls the ''jiivas''(unit beings) further away from ''Brahma'' (Supreme entity) either by depraving thoughts or sinful actions and ''vidyá shakti'' is the force that brings the devotees closer to ''Brahma | Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that everything in the universe works in a systematic order.

Anandamurti goes on saying that God showers His grace on everyone with no partiality. Common people do not feel drenched by Him because they hold an umbrella of vanity over their heads. By dint of one's ''sadhana'' (spiritual endeavor), one will be able to come closer to God and feel His immense grace.<ref name="AV4"/> | ||
