 == Synopsis ==
-{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=By building a road one does not advance along the path of progress – one will have to move along the road. So humans must progress in the psychic realm. And in the process of movement, they will reach a stage when the mind becomes non-existent. It is the human mind which performs spiritual practice. Unless and until the mind reaches that final supreme point, human beings will remain imperfect.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}}
+{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=I appear before a person according to his or her desires. His or her whole being will be filled with My being. All the jiivas of this universe are rushing towards Me, knowingly or unknowingly|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}}
 Anandamurti starts the discourse by explaining a [[:wikipedia:Shloka|shloka]] from the Bhagavad Giita:
 <center><poem>Ye yathá máḿ prapadyante taḿstathaeva bhajámyaham;
 Mama vartmánuvarttante manusyáh pártha sarvashah.</poem></center>
-Krsna says that According to one's inner desire they will receive, but this is very tricky because for example a woman may desire to have adorn herself with jewelry and as a result get reborn as a peacock. Anandamurti then explains that the attainment of [[Parama Purusa]] depends on a person's desires and in fact it would be best not to ask [[Parama Purusa]] for anything. Devotion can be divided into some categories like static, rajasic and satvic. Someone may be of a less selfish nature and only ask to be liberated in her old age, but since her desire was for liberation and not for God, she will not be able to attain Him. The highest type of devotion is called Ragatmika Bhakti where the devotee only wants to give joy to the Lord, regardless of whether she herself receives joy in the process. Anandamurti goes on saying that consciously or unconsciously everyone is moving along the same path, so it is wise of human beings to abbreviate the radius between them and their Lord.<ref name="AV4"/>
