In this discourse, Anandamurti explains the three categories of human beings. The niica category comprises of those whom out of fear do not undertake any serious work. The madhyama category describes those who start a good work, but then when obstacles come across their way, censor or anything alike, they lose faith and stop their work. Those of the best category are those who strive to achieve their goal regardless of what may cross their path. They will adhere to their principles despite any opposition. They belong to the uttama category.<ref name="AV1"/>
