In this discourse Anandamurti is clarifying that if one is to ask for anything at all, then one may ask for a ''buddhi'' (intellect) guided along the path of blessedness. We meditate upon the Supreme so that our minds will be guided toward Him and Him alone. If the intellect is awry, obtaining a great deal will ultimately amount to nothing.<ref name="AV1"/> | |||
