Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that the word "sarva" means everything. In Sanskrit every vibrational expression has an acoustic route as well as sound and color. On the basis of fifty cosmic expressions, the Sanskrit alphabet was created. Anandamurti then explains that the word ''sarvavyapii'' (all pervasive) is divided into three acoustic routs: "Sa" represents the sentient principle, "ra" represents energy and "va" means the inherent characteristic of something. Anandamurti goes on explaining that in all created beings, animate or inanimate, the ''Jiivatma'' (a reflection of the Supreme on the unit mental plate) is there, be it in a developed mind or in a dormant state as in wood or metal. Therefore, nothing is unimportant and everything requires His loving grace.<ref name="AV3"/>
