Paramártha is that factor which brings about the permanent cessation of the triple afflictions.

Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that common people find it hard to distinguish among the many philosophies | Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that common people find it hard to distinguish among the many philosophies and determine which is the right path; The path that leads to all round welfare. Anandamurti then describes the absurdity of religious scriptures; Some instruct people to meditate facing East while others tell them to face West. If the all claim to represent the word of God, how come they differ from one another in their instructions? In regard to the Social code, some claim that an intelligent mind should try to accumulate as much wealth as possible while others call for an equal distribution. Anandamurti goes on saying that the base of Dharma is Parama Purusa and one is to use common sense to avoid all these wranglings. God is the shelter of all human beings whether they are widows, unmarried women, black or white and so on. Like a father He never wants to see them cry in pain. Therefore We must construct a society where no one is forced 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. 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"/> | ||
