{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=So what should one do? Haven’t we any social responsibility for dead persons? When the necessity arises, we should offer shraddhá for them, not barley or wheat or woollen clothes or wrappers or ghee or sesame. What can we do? As long as a man is here in our society we have a social responsibility for him. Human beings are social beings, we have a social responsibility for them. And when the leave this world and go to the other world, they go beyond the scope of our responsibility. We cannot render any service to them. Our social responsibility is over as soon as the cremation is done.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}}
{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=''Taddhávato’nyánatyeti tiśt́hat tasminnápo mátarishvá dadháti.'' Everybody obeys Him. Everybody will have to do according to His desires, according to His laws, according to the laws created by Him for the welfare of the entire creation. And that is why air, water, light and so many entities are doing their prescribed duties and will have to do their prescribed duties. There is no alternative.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}}
Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that there are different observations in regard to the departed, some of which date back to prehistoric times. These are termed ''shráddhá'' in Sanskrit. Anandamurti then explains that practices such as offering food and clothing to the deceased or repeating a special prayer to supposedly locate the dead in a secure surrounding, are nothing but the exploitation of the intellectually less developed. Anandamurti goes on explaining that our social responsibilities towards a person terminate when they no longer remain with us. The only thing we can do in this regard is ask [[Parama Purusa]] to take care of them. This is our only ''shráddhá''.<ref name="AV3"/>
Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that the only way to surmount ''maya'' is through surrender to the Supreme. Anandamurti then explains that ''avidyamaya'' is the force that broadens the angle of radius between the Lord and the devotee, while ''vidyamaya'' shortens it. Both are useful for maintaining balance in the universe. Praise or punishment are for good reason. Anandamurti goes on explaining that the greatness of God cannot be conceived by unit beings. Logic, philosophy or science will not be able to catch Him. Humans will have to obey His laws and fulfill their duties for the benefit and welfare of all.<ref name="AV3"/>
