 == Synopsis ==
-{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=The falsehood which may exist today will not exist tomorrow. “Yah ágacchati sah gacchati” (whatever comes, goes). But satya is something which was in the past, which is today, and which will be in the future; and thus it is satya which ultimately triumphs. Untruth, being a moving phenomenon, may attain a temporary victory on its march, but never a permanent one. In Saḿskrta, permanent victory is called “vijaya” and temporary victory, “jaya”. “Satyameva jayate nánrtaḿ” (only truth triumphs, not falsehood). Falsehood does not win because it is relative, it is ever-changing.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}}
+{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=With which qualities should one be endowed? The greatest quality of a person within an assembly is the capacity to convince others. The highest quality in the battlefield is “yudhi vikramam”, or valour in the battle. While in danger, one’s great quality is patience. So what are the qualities of a dhármika (virtuous person)? First, he or she must have patience. Without patience one’s intellect can easily get misguided resulting in misunderstandings as to what should be done and what should not be done. Losing the faculty of judgment, one is easily defeated.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}}
-Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that every object has a particular nature with certain characteristics.  Anandamurti then explains the ten characteristics that a virtuous person (''dharmika'') must posses: Patience, forgiveness, self control, non-stealing, cleanliness, control over the sensory and motor organs and nerves, developed wisdom (fixed memory of one's goal), self knowledge, ''Satyam'' (that which one thinks or says should be with the intention of welfare for all), and being free from anger. Anandamurti goes on saying that those who are free of anger will be victorious in any battle (physical or an intellectual argument) because the mind of an angry person becomes restless and cannot hold any rational thought.<ref name="AV4"/>
