	~~INTRODUCTION TEXT TO BE WRITTEN~~		The definition of the word 'artha' is 'meaning,' and the definition of the word 'an' is 'no'. Together they form the word 'anartha' which translates to 'no meaning'. Something which has no meaning is unwanted and a waste of time. A deeper understanding of this word when used in the spiritual context is 'anything which hinders spiritual progress in Krishna consciousness'. Srila Prabhupada defines anartha as 'unwanted things'. Whether these things come in the form of bad association, abominable diets, or anything that causes entanglement in the material world, they are termed 'anarthas'. If one is serious about spiritual life, then one must take precautionary measures to rid oneself of all anarthas.

'''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.11.1)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~. '''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|The grossest type of anartha which binds the conditioned soul in material existence is sex desire, and this sex desire gradually develops in the union of the male and female\|The grossest type of anartha which binds the conditioned soul in material existence is sex desire, and this sex desire gradually develops in the union of the male and female. When the male and female are united, the sex desire is further aggravated by the accumulation of buildings, children, friends, relatives and wealth. When all these are acquired, the conditioned soul becomes overwhelmed by such entanglements, and the false sense of egoism, or the sense of "myself" and "mine." '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.2.12)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~. '''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|The word anartha refers to unwanted things. Anarthas are vanquished when one becomes attached to the Krsna consciousness movement\|If one is sincere, he is initiated, and this stage is called bhajana-kriyā. By bhajana-kriyā one attains freedom from the contamination of materialistic life. He no longer goes to a restaurant or hotel to taste so-called palatable dishes made with meat and onions, nor does he care to smoke or drink tea or coffee. He not only refrains from illicit sex, but avoids sex life entirely. Nor is he interested in wasting his time in speculating or gambling. In this way it is to be understood that one is becoming cleansed of unwanted things (anartha-nivṛtti). The word anartha refers to unwanted things. Anarthas are vanquished when one becomes attached to the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. '''(Nectar of Instruction, Text 7)'''}}

To get out of this entanglement, one has to take to the devotional service of Lord Vāsudeva, Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The word guru is significant in this connection. The word guru may be translated as "heavy," or "the supreme." In other words, the guru is the spiritual master. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.36-37)'''}}
