Anandamurti then explains the four stages of progress: In the first stage a person tries to make sincere efforts to attain the goal. Followed by a second stage, in which one's determination helps them to attain some degree of control over their propensities. On the third stage, a persons gains full control over one tendency and on the last stage all propensities are brought under one's full control. At this stage, one is able to know everything by sending their mind to a particular point in time or place. At this stage it's vital to surrender the ego to [[Parama Purusa]] so as to degeneration.
