{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=In mythology it has been said that Rávana is a ten-faced demon. The ten-faced demon is nothing else but the base propensities of the mind, which function in all the ten directions. “Marańam” means “death”. When you take shelter in Parama Puruśa, Rávana dies. So in Him lies the death of all evil forces, all depraving propensities. Hence, He is “Rávanasya marańam”, He is the death of Rávana. Here also, Ráma means Parama Puruśa.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}} | {{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=In mythology it has been said that Rávana is a ten-faced demon.

Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that human intellect is limited and therefore its ability to measure or judge anything in the world. ''Brhat'' means an entity so great and beyond the scope of evaluation. When that entity is not only great but also has the capacity to make others great it is called ''Brahma''. Anandamurti then explains that nature can't be the creator of anything, the reason is that nature is a physical force guided by human intellect which is guided by Supreme intelligence and its divine force. No physical force or limited intellect can produce such a well-ordered universe. Anandamurti goes on saying that devotees are more intelligent then intellectuals because they understand that everything is guided by the Supreme, He who remains beyond the intellect. | Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that human intellect is limited and therefore its ability to measure or judge anything in the world.

Devotees say that by remaining unperceived or recognized, He imbues on them an endless desire to search for Him and attain Him. In such way human beings become greater.<ref name="AV4"/> | ||
