If they do, they take them on their lap and comfort them with love and affection until their tears stop. You will have to build a society in which no one is forced to weep, where everyone smiles joyfully all the time and gets ample scope for laughter.

Anandamurti then describes the absurdity of theories based on impractical ideas and various scriptures that mislead common people to think that God discriminates between one and another and encourages abuse and separation. Anandamurti goes on saying that the root of dharma is Parama | Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that common people find it hard to distinguish among the many philosophies and determine which is the path that leads to all round welfare. Anandamurti then describes the absurdity of theories based on impractical ideas and various scriptures that mislead common people to think that God discriminates between one and another and encourages abuse and separation. Anandamurti goes on saying that the root of dharma is [[Parama Purusa]] and all entities find their shelter within his mind. To serve all is the right social code and to hold the thought of Him ever awakened in the mind is the true spiritual code. Parama Purusha never wants to see anyone unhappy.<ref name="AV4"/> | ||
