Scope for Environmental Adjustment is a discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti in 1969. This discourse is the fourth chapter of Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 33.[1]

Synopsis

People were carefree on elephants’ backs, but they are sufficiently careful when they are driving a motor car or scooter. When going to the moon or Mars, people should be sufficiently cautious. The body and mind should be properly adjusted. This is called environmental adjustment. Ásana, práńáyáma [yogic postures and breathing], etc., help us in this adjustment.

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 a 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, and reach the final state of life's consummation where the unit mind merges in the Supreme abode of eternal bliss.[1]
