Falsafah ini juga sebagai norma-norma adat dan turunannya untuk menjalankan kehidupan yang diatur dalam adat Minangkabau. Jejak  Alam Takambang Jadi Guru atau "segala sesuatu yang ada di ‘alam’ dapat dijadikan guru" terlihat jelas dari penggunaan kata-kata yang berasal dari “alam” (sifat, tumbuhan, hewan, benda, tempat dan kegiatan maupun peristiwa atau kejadian) sebagai bagian dari norma adat yang mengatur setiap tindakan masyarakat Minangkabau baik individu maupun kelompok. Penggunaan kata maupun tutur yang merujuk kepada “alam” dalam setiap falsafah dan norma adat mengacu pada makna kiasan, sehingga falsafah dan norma adat tersebut mampu untuk memunculkan arti serta maknanya.

Nama maupun tutur tersebut hadir dalam repertoar-repertoar musik tradisional Minangkabau yang sesuai dengan interpretasi masyarakat Minangkabau dalam melihat fenomena “alam”.   Alam Takambang Jadi Guru is a philosophy that underlies the way of thinking of the Minangkabau people as customary norms and derivatives to carry out a life regulated in custom.
