Anandamurti starts the discourse by | Anandamurti starts the discourse by asking whether the Supreme entity is close to human beings or far away from them? He then says that He is ''Visnu'' (lies concealed in every entity of this expressed universe). Anandamurti then explains that those who practice Sadhana are blessed, and that is because they have the opportunity to realize that the Supreme "I" lies within their own small "I" feeling. With such a feeling of intimacy with the Lord, the spiritual aspirant will sing kiirtan and meditate until they are established in the Supreme idea.<ref name="AV4"/> | ||
