{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=''Abrahmástamba''. 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? Because they are reflections of Parama Puruśa.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}}
{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=“Gańábharańaḿ” – many mythological gods and goddesses are laden with necklaces, rings, padma, gadá, cakra, etc. But the people’s god (He is the people’s god as no money is required to worship Him) has no ornaments, as ornaments are costly. His devotees, His followers, His disciples are His ornaments. He requires no other ornaments. He is nirguńa because He is beyond the bondage of the guńas.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}}
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. Therefore, nothing is unimportant; everything requires His loving grace.<ref name="AV3"/>
