The meeting point between the Cosmic Constitution and individual life - Maharishi

http://www.TM.org The meeting point between the Cosmic Constitution and individual life - Maharishi

1. (Dr. Hagelin:) Thank you, Maharishi, for that fascinating analysis of the situation in the world today. There is interest from the press, Maharishi, in many areas-health and governance: Last week Maharishi described the Constitution of the Universe as nonhumanly conceived laws that run the infinite diversity of the universe with perfect order. Maharishi also described the humanly conceived laws as deeply flawed, filled with human weaknesses and failings that cause a "bundle of confusion for the world." To bring order to this confusion, Maharishi said he is offering governments the technology to connect the Constitution of the Universe with human law. My questions are (1) what kind of technology can make this connection, and (2) is there an easy
way to reap the benefit of orderly administration through Natural Law without rewriting the existing constitutions or dismantling the present institutions of government?

2. Maharishi: Vedic University will take the attention of the students to Veda. Veda is the divine law that is administering the ever-expanding galactic universe. Veda is the Constitution of the Universe.

3. Where is the Cosmic Constitution in human life? The meeting point of the administration of individual life and the administration of cosmic life is in every man. The meeting point is from where a syllable pops up. Vedic sounds are the sounds originating from the deepest state of consciousness, absolute silence, which is the unmanifest, transcendental, self-referral field of consciousness.

4. Expressing the silent level of the throat or the pulsating level of the throat, the throat can say "A," it can say "ka," it can say "i," it can say "u." These varying values of the vowels and consonants of the language are the junction point of the individual consciousness and cosmic consciousness. Here is the meeting point of the
absolute order in the universe and the ever expanding order of the individual. The meeting point of the two constitutions, constitution of the individual and Constitution of the Universe is the meeting point of the eternal cosmic order, and eternal disorder of the individual.

5. Wherever there is physiology and pulsation of physiology, that is the pulsation of the knowledge that puts together the cosmic order and individual order. Cosmic order is eternal cosmic order, ever the same, nonchanging. And this individual order is left to winds, memories, so many memories.

6. Vedic wisdom through education demands the memory of the person to be of that reality which is the basis of all thought, the source of all thought. But in education today, this is not taught, and therefore, cosmic character of Total Natural Law remains out of human concept.

7. The source of thought is that point where cosmic and individual law meet together. And that is what is called total realization, in which you see "This is cosmic law--this is nonvariable, unified--and this is variable, diversified." But both are there. You can realize that junction point.

8. Our approach to health is to have that level of intelligence open to our awareness which is, on one side, diverse, on the other side unified, cosmic individual.

9. Jivo Brahmaiva na para. You are cosmic, you are Brahm. I am That, Thou art That. We are putting forward that knowledge which will give man access to all possibilities, access to absolute order in daily life.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi started teaching Transcendental Meditation in 1957.
