The Requirements for Sádhaná is a discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti on 1978 October 13 in Patna, India. This discourse is the twelfth chapter of Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 3.[1]
Synopsis
You must remember the fact that, to realize Him, age, sex, academic qualifications and such things are not relevant. Great scholars, senior people and mahámahopádhyáya pańd́itas may lag behind, while an illiterate person races ahead and fulfills his or her purpose. You should not have any inferiority complex in your mind regarding age, sex, education, etc. You are His children. It is your birthright to reach Him, irrespective of your status, academic qualification, or age. Make proper utilization of this right.
Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that those who believe in a doomsday, are either not acquainted with the right philosophy or are thinking irrationally. Anandamurti then explains that after the nerve cells no longer function, the mind gets dissociated from the body in search for a suitable form (according to one's reactive momenta). The mind, then, never becomes suspended in the graveyard waiting for a judgement day to occur, but rather moves on in its course for the next life. Anandamurti goes on explaining that self-realization is not a bonus given to an intellectual elite, but rather the birthright of all.[1]
