His Reflections Are Everywhere is a discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti on 1978 October 22 in Patna, India. This discourse is the nineteenth chapter of Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 3.[1]
Synopsis
“Ábrahmastamba.” From the creative faculty, Brahma, 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. “Sarvabhútántarátmá.”
Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that all expressions or manifestations come from the Supreme. He is the controller of actions, the supervisor as well as the witnessing entity. Without His reflection, nothing can exist. He is the shelter of all physical and psychic beings. Anandamurti then explains that without the permission of Parama Purusha the operative principle can not function. He is also termed Kevalam (the only one Supreme Lord). 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.[1]
