Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that human intellect is limited and likewise its ability to measure or judge anything in the world. ''Brhat'' means an entity so great and beyond the scope of evaluation. When that entity is not only great but also has the capacity to make others great, it is called ''Brahma''. Anandamurti then explains that those who presume that nature is an independent entity able to produce an original creation, are wrong. Nature is a physical force guided by human intellect which is guided by Supreme intelligence and its divine force. No physical force or  limited intellect can produce such a well-ordered universe. Anandamurti goes on saying that devotees are more intelligent then intellectuals because they understand that everything is guided by the Supreme; He who remains beyond the intellect. Devotees say that by remaining unperceived and unrecognized, He imbues on them an endless desire to search for Him and attain Him. In such way human beings become greater.<ref name="AV4"/>

Our Concept of Creation and Cosmic Mind is a discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti in 1969. This discourse is the fifth chapter of Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 33.[1]

Synopsis

With the increase in psychic power, fierce physical potentialities go on waning, and at the stage of human beings the power of protection lies more with the mind than with the body. Though the acquired tendencies of the animal play no mean role in the life of human beings, the developed ego-consciousness or intellectual faculty finds adequate expression in their behaviour. It is they alone who have the power to introspect within the real nature of their existence and find its final abode, or generative place. Animal consciousness identifies body-consciousness with the existential consciousness, but human consciousness tries to investigate on the synthetic plane.

Shrii Shrii Anandamurti

Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that the Cosmic Mind is a composite of Cosmic Mahattattva (the feeling of I exist), Ahaḿtattva (I do) and citta (done I). A description of the differences between the Cosmic Mind and the Unit Mind are given. Anandamurti then explains the differences between the theory of Mechanism vs Vitalism. Mechanism describes the origin of life as interactions of molecules constituting the body. He says that If we are to agree to such an approach, we will have to admit that life comes from that which is lifeless. Anandamurti goes on saying that life and creation is an evolution from simple unicellular organisms and plants to a more developed animals and human beings. Only human beings have the capacity to reflect upon the real meaning of their existence; Only they can reach the final state of life's consummation in which the unit mind merges in the Supreme abode of eternal bliss.[1]
