Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that | Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that its the ''dharma'' (innate characteristic) of human beings to become acquainted with the world of aesthetics and mysticism while moving beyond the periphery of material life. Anandamurti then says that its the duty of spiritualists to help the common people discover the subtle joys of aesthetics. Only then they can get a glimpse into sublime, mystical thought. Anandamurti goes on explaining that human life resembles a garden of many flowers. Each flower has its charming expression. Each flower must be guided toward [[Parama Purusa]]. Pleasing the Supreme Being is the purpose of all human entities.<ref name="AV34"/> | ||
