Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that Parvatii asked Lord Shiva "what are the secrets of success?" | Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that Parvatii asked Lord Shiva "what are the secrets of success?", One of the secrets was to have a balanced mind; a mind free from complexes. Anandamurti then explains that a balanced mind means proper thinking and befitting memory, both which are being distorted when one of these four complexes exist in a person: superiority complex, inferiority complex, fear complex, and defeatist complex. Anandamurti goes on explaining that a sinner's mentality is connected with a feeling of helplessness, and a spiritual aspirant must remember that he or she are never hopeless, because the Supreme Lord is their father. Spiritualists should become free from all complexes and move straightforwardly towards their goal.<ref name="AV34"/> | ||
