{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=To live in this physical world, to preserve our existence, Artha or money is essential. However, we also require Paramártha. Paramártha is that factor which brings about the permanent cessation of the triple afflictions. Here permanent cessation means cessation of those afflictions which, once removed, will never return again in the future. That Artha which brings permanent relief from the pangs of hunger, which is the instrument of permanent cessation, is called “Paramártha”.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}} | {{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=To live in this physical world, to preserve our existence, Artha or money is essential.

Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that common people find it hard to distinguish among the many philosophies and social theories and determine which is the right path; The path that leads to all round welfare. Anandamurti then explains that scripture vary. They all claim to be revealing cosmic truth, nevertheless the argue among themselves. Some say that Shudras, Women or homeless people are not entitled to do spiritual practices, others claim that wealth should be freely acquired by the intelligent people or distributed equally among all. Anandamurti goes on saying that all these religious decrees have nothing to do with Dharma. The root of Dharma is Parama Purusha and all entities find their shelter within His mind | Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that common people find it hard to distinguish among the many philosophies and social theories and determine which is the right path; The path that leads to all round welfare.

God never wants His children to be miserable, whether they are widows, unmarried young women, black or white. To serve all is the right social code and to keep the thought of Him ever awakened in our minds is the true spiritual code. Parama Purusha never wants to see anyone sad.<ref name="AV4"/> | ||
