From the creative faculty, Brahmá, to a ''stamba'' – ''stamba'' means ''blade of grass'' – everything is His creation. So His reflections are there everywhere. Nobody is negligible; nobody is insignificant. Everybody, everything, is significant - all things carry some meaning. And why do they carry some meaning?

Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that | Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that the word ''sarva'' means everything. In [[Samskrta]] every vibrational expression has an acoustic route as well as a sound and a color. On the basis of fifty cosmic expressions, the Samskrta alphabet was created. Anandamurti then explains that the word ''sarva'' is divided into three acoustic roots: ''Sa'' represents the sentient principle, ''ra'' represents energy, and ''va'' represents the inherent characteristic of something. Anandamurti goes on explaining that in all created beings, animate or inanimate, the ''jiivátma'' (reflection of the Supreme on the unit mental plate) is there, be it in a developed mind or in a dormant mind, as in wood or metal.
