So humans must progress in the psychic realm. And in the process of movement, they will reach a stage when the mind becomes non-existent. It is the human mind which performs spiritual practice. Unless and until the mind reaches that final supreme point, human beings will remain imperfect.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}} | ||
Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that genuine progress is determined by the psychic and spiritual effort one makes on the path toward perfection. Anandamurti then explains the four stages of progress: In the first stage a person tries to make sincere efforts to attain the goal. Followed by a second stage, in which one's determination helps them to attain some degree of control over their propensities. On the third stage, a persons gains full control over one tendency and on the last stage all propensities are brought under one's full control. At this stage, one is able to know everything by sending their mind to a particular point in time or place. At this stage it's vital to surrender the ego to [[Parama Purusa]] so as to degeneration. Anandamurti goes on saying that this is how human beings advanced in the past and will advance in the future.<ref name="AV4"/> | Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that genuine progress is determined by the psychic and spiritual effort one makes on the path toward perfection.
