{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=Humans are unable to think anything original: they can only think about those objects they have previously seen in the external world. Therefore, as people cannot see or recognize Parama Puruśa in the external world with their sense organs (the very capacity of the sense organs to see or hear something has been given by Parama Puruśa Himself), they are unable to think of Him. He cannot be attained through thought as there is no opportunity to see Him in the external world. So we can only say to Him, “I don’t know what you look like but I send my salutations to you in whatever form you may be”.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}}
{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=Those who don’t have this feeling and think that Parama Puruśa is far away, may cry themselves hoarse, yet their sobs will not be heard by Him. The actual truth is that the Supreme Entity lies covert in the small “I” feeling of all living creatures. So He is not far from anything; rather, He is the very “I” of each and every microcosm. With this idea or feeling in mind, spiritual aspirants should start their spiritual practice. To be ensconced in this supreme idea is the culminating point of all sadhana.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}}
Anandamurti starts the discourse by asking whether the Supreme entity is close to human beings or far away from them? He then says that one of the Lord's names is ''Visnu'' (he who lies concealed in every entity of this expressed universe). Anandamurti then explains that those who practice [[Sadhana]] are blessed because they have the opportunity to realize that the Supreme "I" lies within their very own small "I" feeling. With such a feeling of intimacy with the Lord, the spiritual aspirants will sing kiirtan and meditate until they are established in the Supreme idea.<ref name="AV4"/>
