Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that everything in the universe works in a systematic order. As electrons move around the atomic nucleus and planets whirl around the sun, so do all unit beings rotate around the center of the cosmological order (''Brahma Cakra''). Anandamurti then explains that in this hub of the cosmic wheel two forces are at work: ''avidyá shakti'' is the force that pulls the ''jiivas'' (unit beings) further away from ''Brahma'' (Supreme entity) either by depraving thoughts or sinful actions and ''vidyá shakti'' is the force that brings the devotees closer to ''Brahma'' (by deciding to become a good person and paving the path of spiritual practice). Anandamurti goes on saying that God showers His grace on everyone with no partiality. Common people do not feel drenched by Him  because they hold an umbrella of vanity over their heads. By dint of one's ''sadhana'' (spiritual endeavor), one will be able to come closer to God and feel His immense grace.<ref name="AV33"/>
Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that the Cosmic Mind is a composite of Cosmic ''Mahattattva'' (the feeling of I exist), ''Ahaḿtattva'' (I do) and ''citta'' (done I). A description of the differences between the Cosmic Mind and the Unit Mind are given. Anandamurti then explains the differences between the theory of ''Mechanism'' vs ''Vitalism''. ''Mechanism'' describes the origin of life as interactions of molecules constituting the body. He says that If we are to agree to such an approach, we will have to admit that life comes from that which is lifeless. Anandamurti goes on saying that life and creation is an evolution from simple unicellular organisms and plants to a more developed animals and human beings. Only human beings have the capacity to reflect upon the real meaning of their existence; Only they can reach the final state of life's consummation in which the unit mind  merges in the Supreme abode of eternal bliss.<ref name="AV33"/>

Our Concept of Creation and Cosmic Mind is a discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti in 1969. This discourse is the fifth chapter of Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 33.[1]

Synopsis

With the increase in psychic power, fierce physical potentialities go on waning, and at the stage of human beings the power of protection lies more with the mind than with the body. Though the acquired tendencies of the animal play no mean role in the life of human beings, the developed ego-consciousness or intellectual faculty finds adequate expression in their behaviour. It is they alone who have the power to introspect within the real nature of their existence and find its final abode, or generative place. Animal consciousness identifies body-consciousness with the existential consciousness, but human consciousness tries to investigate on the synthetic plane.

Shrii Shrii Anandamurti

Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that the Cosmic Mind is a composite of Cosmic Mahattattva (the feeling of I exist), Ahaḿtattva (I do) and citta (done I). A description of the differences between the Cosmic Mind and the Unit Mind are given. Anandamurti then explains the differences between the theory of Mechanism vs Vitalism. Mechanism describes the origin of life as interactions of molecules constituting the body. He says that If we are to agree to such an approach, we will have to admit that life comes from that which is lifeless. Anandamurti goes on saying that life and creation is an evolution from simple unicellular organisms and plants to a more developed animals and human beings. Only human beings have the capacity to reflect upon the real meaning of their existence; Only they can reach the final state of life's consummation in which the unit mind merges in the Supreme abode of eternal bliss.[1]
