Anandamurti starts the discourse by stating that the meaning of the ''mudra'' in the Lalita Marmika dance is "O Supreme Creator, Thou art mine and I am Yours. I am Thine." He explains how among different kinds of devotees, a first grade devotee will always see the Supreme as belonging to himself only. Anandamurti goes on by explaining that, from a philosophical point of view, [[Parama Purusa]] is an impersonal entity. In the field of spirituality, He may be both, a personal and an impersonal entity. But for a spiritual aspirant, the Lord is the nearest and dearest friend, a lover, a close relative – a purely personal entity.<ref name="AV12"/> | Anandamurti starts the discourse by stating that the meaning of the ''mudra'' in the Lalita Marmika dance is "O Supreme Creator, Thou art mine and I am Yours.
