Synopsis
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”.
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.[1]
