The distressed, suffering. (Glossary for the Vahinis)

The Lord showers his mercy on the Aartha (distressed person) and the Arthaarthi (one who longs for wealth), as well as on the jijnaasu (seeker of spiritual knowledge) and the jnani (liberated person). The aartha is the person who is ill and suffering; the arthaarthi is the poverty-stricken who seeks prosperity and fortune. (SSS Vol.3, p. 44)

You must become an Aartha, torn by intense suffering to sense the Lord. Suffer the pangs of distress. You must realise that mere suffering is fruitless, without the knowledge of the path to attain the Lord. That is to say, you have to be transformed into a jijnasu, a seeker. Analyse the four Purusharthas (four goals of life) and realise that Moksha (Liberation) is the goal, the culmination. Start craving for that, as an Arthaarthi, the lover of the truest gain. Seek that which, when secured, all else is secured. (SSS Vol.5, p. 40)
