“Ye Yathá Máḿ Prapadyante” is a discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti in Kolkata, India. The discourse was delivered on the morning of 1978 November 8. This discourse is the sixteenth chapter of Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 4.[1]

Synopsis

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

Shrii Shrii Anandamurti

Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that one must possess some qualifications in order to be able to do any activity. Parvati once asked Lord Shiiva who is eligible to follow the spiritual path. Shiiva's reply was that the first qualification is to possess a human body. Anandamurti then explains that human beings are predominated by intellect; unlike animals, humans with the help of their mind are able to control their inborn instincts. This makes them dependable. Anandamurti goes on saying that acquiring virtue is what makes people enjoy the positive fruits of their actions. Nevertheless, this will not lead them to salvation. Shiiva's answer was that the only way to get salvation is to know one's own inner self, which is equal to knowledge of Brahma.[1]
