Anandamurti starts this discourse by explaining the meaning of a shloka:  
Anandamurti starts this discourse by explaining the meaning of a shloka: ''Náhaḿ vasámi Vaekuńt́he yogiináḿ hrdaye na ca'' - I do not remain in an expanded, benevolent mind or in the heart of a yogi. Anandamurti explains what is the true meaning of ''yoga'', saying that a yogi is someone who merges his mind with the mind of [[Parama Purusa]]. Anandamurti mentions that some people consider yoga to be a practice of suspending the propensities of the mind, but He explains that Narayana will not stay in the heart of such yogis because no vibration can emanate from them in such a state. ''Madbhaktá yatra gáyante tatra tiśt́hámi Nárada'' - I position myself amid my devotees who sing kiirtan. Here Anandamurti explains that although God is everywhere, His nucleus is at that location where His name is sung with emotion and ecstasy.<ref name="AV1"/>
