Anandamurti begins this discourse saying that the path of spirituality is beyond the scope of symbolization. Human mind cannot imagine the supra-mental or supra-psychic existence of [[Parama Purusa]]. As human mind and the motor and the sensory organs fail to express certain psychic feelings, it is not possible for the mind express or symbolize the Supreme Self. Although it is impossible, we call the supra-psychic-existential entity Parama Purusa. This is a kind of a symbolization. | Anandamurti begins this discourse saying that the path of spirituality is beyond the scope of symbolization.

<blockquote>The meaning or inner spirit of this form of symbolization is that when we call Him "Parama Puruśa" we say, "O Parama Purusaa, we call You that in order to express our inability to symbolize You." Therefore to know Him you have to go beyond the periphery of your whole relative structure and finally attain unity with Him. This alone will be the supreme expression of all human sádhaná.</blockquote> | <blockquote>The meaning or inner spirit of this form of symbolization is that when we call Him "Parama Puruśa" we say, "O Parama Purusaa, we call You that in order to express our inability to symbolize You."
