Jiivátmá and Pratyagátmá is a discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti on 1978 October 20 in Patna, India. This discourse is the eighteenth chapter of Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 3.[1]
Synopsis
“Sarvabhútántarátmá” – He is all-pervading, all-pervasive. He is beyond the scope of this expressed universe, although He functions within the expressed universe also. So when one is to become one with Him, one will have to go beyond the periphery of all these expressions and manifestations. One will have to place one’s mind above the jurisdiction of this phenomenal world.
Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that the Supreme Entity may wear a form or lie beyond any attributional manifestation, nonetheless He is always infinite. Anandamurti then explains that the mind becomes purified through Sadhana and selfless service. On a meticulously neat mirror, one can get a better reflection of the supreme soul. Anandamurti goes on explaining that a purified mind is a phase in the movement toward our human goal. Self surrender and devotion is necessary for merging in God. That is the final stage of Spirituality.[1]
