Lebanon Rising to
Invincibility
A Beautiful New Project for
Achieving Permanent Peace
![Downsized Image [Lebanon03.JPG - 105kB]](../images/Lebanon03.JPG)
Lebanon is planning a beautiful new project for
achieving permanent peace, prosperity and invincibility—to radiate this
influence to the whole Middle East region—through the establishment of
an Invincibility School where the students practice Maharishi's
Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Program as part of their
curriculum.
To implement this much needed project, suitable land is being acquired
for a girls' school to be built according to the principles of Maharishi
Sthapatya Veda—Maharishi Vedic Architecture.
During the past months, many sites have been searched and evaluated for
their suitability in terms of the principles of Vedic
Architecture—location, environment, cost, etc. After a long and thorough
search, ideal land has been located in a quiet and pleasant area away
from noise and pollution, and surrounded by beautiful green areas. The
land is also not very far from Beirut. That will allow many students to
come to the school without having to travel long distances.

‘Dr Hagelin's voice today is
being conveyed from the centre of New York. New York is supposed to be a
New York; every year is a New York. It cannot continue to be an Old

there—intelligentsia who are lighthouses of intelligence, the home of
Total Knowledge, and have a vibrant vitality of infinite creativity,
bringing out a new phase of administration.
‘Those, who are in the helm of affairs on the top level of every
organization on the economic level or on the political level or on the
social level or on any level, have only to understand. Now, I love the

equations of physics or chemistry.” They do not have to understand
anything. So, instead of innocently going to hell, they are asked to
innocently go to heaven. Absolutely, they can return from hell today. .

‘The world press in every country is dedicated to the country. This is

they are making laws which fail to bring the desired effect.
‘What Dr Hagelin said was very interesting. The chief military man does
not have to understand. When a part of the military—not the whole
military, just a very insignificant part of a military, one or two
battalions—is closing their eyes, they are not asked to relinquish their
rifles. If the need is there, they will fight. But before the need
arises, they can cancel the need by closing the eyes. Just a little
battalion of a few hundred people can do this.
‘Every country has thousands in the military. We are not asking all the
military to run away, because we know the present fearful administration
will never allow it to be disbanded. But they should realize that this
destructive means of protection is a false notion. It has existed
throughout the history. Murder of the youth has been throughout history
in the name of securing the nation. What a stupid principle. Some
people, who have gathered money from the people, pay them. They think,
“Give money to the youth and keep them inspired in the name of bravery
and all very good inspiring words, then put them to death. Feed the
youth like you feed the goat to someday eat him up.” Very, very
barbarian and very, very uncultured and very, very criminal is this
approach of every government, as far as the national integrity, national
security, defense, and education are concerned.
‘Here is a call to wake up. Either wake up or get out—finished. Every
government can save itself from being hooted out, being removed in six
years. Then the same people, who will remove the government, will
respect the government: ”Oh, you have done very well, you have done very
well. Everyone is very happy. Diseases are much less.”
‘In the whole field of medicine, poison is being given to the people.

restricted knowledge. Our program is invincibility—Centers of
Invincibility.

Following is a brief description of the land:
Location: approximately 25 kilometers south-east of Beirut Area
Altitude: 850 metres above sea-level
Nature of the land: Thick pine forests on a slightly inclined hill with
a beautiful plateau overlooking the Barouq mountains in the distance
towards the east. The formal procedures for acquiring the land are in
good progress and in one week the land should be available.
Lebanon lies at the junction point between
three continents, namely: Europe, Asia, and Africa. Maharishi once
described Lebanon in terms of the 'transcendental Gap' which is the
field of all possibilities. Lebanon could also be seen as the gateway
between East and West, and between North and South. For that reason,
coherence and harmony in Lebanon are very much needed to harmonize the
tremendous differences and diversities that Lebanon lives as a daily
reality.
Lebanon's population is about 4 million, with population density of 400
people per square km and has residents from almost every country of the
world. This tremendous diversity concentrated on a very a small area of
the earth adds to the necessity of harmonization of the differences
through a very much needed coherence-creating group. The required group
size is 200, and plans are in progress to establish a permanent group of
200 experts in Yogic Flying to practice together morning and evening.
The best way to fulfill this requirement is to build a school for at
least 200 students and introduce these powerful technologies of
consciousness to the students as part of their daily routine.
The land found, richly forested with pine trees, is an ideal location
for building 2 schools (one for boys and another for girls) for a total
of 400 students to ensure double the required number as a safety factor.
In addition, the plan is to build a Maharishi Vedic Spa with 100 rooms
that could be used for residential courses.

Every nation needed an organization
Now, is the need for a prevention-oriented administration, which will be
problem-free itself
Maharishi: ‘Jai
Guru Dev. I was listening with great joy to every sentence of yours, Dr
Hagelin. I will ask the world press to inform their government.
‘The concept of a government organization was from the need of a nation.
Every nation needed an organization which will consider whether all
different aspects of life in the country are on the right side of
evolution. The very existence of a government throughout the ages has
its basis in the need for an organization. Throughout the history of
nations, throughout the history of society, the need was felt that there
should be an organization which should take care of the education,
health, industry, commerce—all in one centralized organization—and that
was called government. Every government has rules for its fulfillment.
‘Now, a concept has come for the need of an administration which will be
prevention-oriented, and which will be problem-free itself. What we find
is that every government is full of problems and full of questions.
Every ministry of every government decides to do this and this and this,
but whatever they are doing, there is the concept of changing the
government. In five, six years, the government must be changed. For five
years, some people are given the chance to let the society run
intelligently, without problems, but all the problems grow in economy,
in politics, in behavior—in everything. So, there is the concept of
changing government. Democracy came into being. . . .
‘People believe some people, and they are rulers for five years. They
make their gestures and all, but nothing comes out of it to fulfill the
purpose of their assembly. No government, with all its different
departments, is able to fulfill the purpose of any department, just
because humanly conceived laws will always remain incompetent for the
total purpose of life.
‘Therefore, now, a plan has come that life could be upheld by cosmic
law, by total law, by total knowledge of Natural Law. It just evolved,
and it has proved its value. Every government—every minister and every
ministry—can fulfill its purpose by having a hundred or two hundred
people, every employee in every ministry, make it a part of their
natural duty to spend half an hour twice a day in their home or office
practicing Transcendental Meditation for their own enlightenment. The
effect will be that they will be more efficient in passing on papers
from table to table, plus they will be producing an effect of
invincibility. They will be fulfilling the purpose of the government.
The total purpose of the government will be in favor of the life of
everyone in the country.
‘All the government people are being paid by the money of the people,
but they are not able to fulfill the required goals. Dr Hagelin is
proposing a plan of Total Knowledge. It does not have to remain
restricted to the schools and colleges. Every government is going to be
hooted out in five years or six years anyway. The next year's government
or the present government could create the fulfillment of its expected
duty, and that government will be lasting.
‘Every government has a choice to be hooted out after six years or to be
welcomed and honorably requested to remain in its position, since they
have produced a problem-free administration, a problem-free nation, a
peaceful nation, an integrated nation where there is no disintegration,
is no conflict, no problems. Such a government can be now—in one month,
in two months, in three months—now.

‘This week we are asking every
government to have this thing done. And if they do not do it, there will
be a revolt against every government. They will be hooted out.
Presidents, prime ministers, education ministers, finance ministers,
defense ministers, industry ministers, and trade ministers are all there
to serve the nation. Now, we see that all are in default. In their mind,
they are serving the nation, but the result is that they are crucifying
the nation. Their effort, their organization, their government is a
fraud. Everywhere the government is a fraud.
‘This is my message to every government, whether the world press
releases this message or not. The world press will be out of their duty
tomorrow. I am going to establish this through the government. It is
very easy for the government to have a few hundred people in each
ministry or all the people in each ministry or a quarter of the people
spend one hour every day. The whole thing has come out to be possible on
such a ridiculously small scale of operation.
‘Here is a joy for the world press, if the world press has anything to
do with patriotism and if they have any common sense. There was a
proverb in English: “If you try and try and fail again and again, you
try and try again and again.” All that is not necessary. You try once,
and you will see that you are crowned.
‘Today Dr Hagelin said, “There are geniuses who create electricity in
the powerhouses. The man in his home does not have to know the whole
engineering. He just presses the button and gets the light.” So people
do not have to understand. Even if the people of the government do not
understand, when they close the eyes and do all that we are teaching,
what happens is that the individual gets enlightened. You do not have to
understand the mechanics of how the influence becomes cosmic, and how
the influence spreads in national life. But when you know how to press
the button, the light will be on. You do not have to understand the
mechanics.
‘Such simplicity—such utter simplicity—in the field of knowledge and
such utter simplicity in the field of numbers, who will achieve this?
The governments are going to do it, and single individuals have to be
doing it for their own enlightenment. In every way, the world is
destined to be a better world tomorrow—tomorrow, next week, next month.
Do not go until next year. Next month is good enough.
‘Our Finance Minister, Prime Minister, and Science and Technology
Minister have designed a program for every government, for every trade
and industry, for every school, for every college, for every hospital,
for every builder, for every engineer in the country. For everyone, they
have an open door to heavenly happiness on the mental level and a huge
amount of wealth on the practical level. They have the program.
‘The wealthy so far have always had heart palpitations about whether
they should invest in this or they should invest in that. All these days
of heart palpitations are coming to an end for the wise. This is a
program for those, who start to close the eyes, to do less and
accomplish more and more.
‘We have started this thing. We do not depend on the governments. We
have our own global government—peaceful government. We are not calling
it a government, because we do not want to create any fear of our
existence in the present existing governments. We call it a global
government. We have a global development currency. We have global
Natural Law. We have everything global. And we are going to be parental
to the whole world population.
‘We want to see all the countries, our own family, and every country
invincible, rising to invincibility very quickly—not many days or not a
long time. Now it is a matter of a few days, a few weeks. With a few
hundred people here or there, or a thousand people here or there in
bigger countries, we are taking thirty-six top leading countries in the
world now. And within a few weeks, they will create that integrated
national consciousness.
|
 |
‘We already have started to
call our centers that teach Transcendental Meditation “Centers of
Invincibility”. Centers of Invincibility have a collective connotation.
A Center of Enlightenment was thought to be on the individual level so
far. The history of thousands of years in the world has the word
“enlightenment”; it is not a new word. What is new in our case is total
knowledge of Natural Law and the influence of the individual
enlightenment on the level of the nation as a whole in terms of
enlightenment. The nation as a whole is in terms of enlightenment
because a few hundred individuals are good enough to create that cosmic
influence, that collective influence, in the whole society. And the
whole society is going in the right lines—always evolving, always
evolving, always evolving.
‘Now, it is a matter of a few days. Whether the world press will express
it or not, we are going to create the influence. If the world press
listens to it, they will be enjoying their duty. If they do not do it,
we just simply do not mind. If the governments do it, they will be doing
their duty. If they do not do it, we do not mind that they do not do it.
Just a few hundred people will do it themselves.
‘We are so independent now. That is why we are proclaiming invincibility
to every nation. It is not a slogan. It is the announcement of the real
tomorrow. Today, a country is dependent on its people. Tomorrow, every
nation will be independent. It will be thriving in prosperity, in
affluence, in integrity, in wisdom—in everything. That is the world that
is going to dawn in a few days. Maybe we have to go through a few
nights, but we already see the dawn. And on that basis, we are making
such open claims.
‘Listen to Dr Hagelin. Every Center of Transcendental Meditation,
teaching Transcendental Meditation, promises all to the individual and
now we want to call them Centers of Invincibility. Dr Hagelin and our
Prime Minister absolutely convinced me that these centers are the
torchbearers of the forthcoming enlightened world. “Forthcoming
enlightened world” does not mean in a year or two years or three years.
It is now, during this year. The world has a very great, fortunate
generation of intelligentsia in the leaders of our Movement. . . .
‘Our formula is instant; the result is instant. A few individuals are
creating a cosmic influence from the level of consciousness. All the
theories and understanding about the philosophy of self-referral
consciousness and all are abstract values, because they are more and
more refined, more and more refined, more and more refined. They go to
the transcendental level, from where the mind returns, from where the
language returns, from where the calculations return.
‘But our operation is from that level of absolute silence. And we are
expert in that; we are expert in teaching that. And we are very happy
that we are able to produce such a great influence in the whole world
society. That is why we say, “The world is our family.” And we do not
want anyone in our family to be miserable, as has been the case
throughout history.
‘The human race has had very wrong notions particularly in the field of
defense. You are so afraid that, if anybody wants to come to you, you
are afraid of him and want to kill him. When you want to kill him, you
want to kill your own youth. You want to kill your own youth. When you
are sacrificing the youth of the nation, where is the nation? For whom
is the nation? When you are killing your youth for the nation, for whom
is the nation? All these maddening principles have been floated on the
level of bravery and so much national patriotism and all that. The whole
thing was a fraud and harmful to life.
‘Now is the time we give all glory to the Vedic Tradition, to the
tradition of Vedic Knowledge from where we have been fed the knowledge
of total Natural Law, which has been verified today in the name of the
Unified Field and all that. But as Dr Hagelin has expressed to the
people, everyone does not have to be an electronic engineer to enjoy
results of the activity of the electronic engineers in the powerhouse.
They are giving the light, so one can press the button, and one does not
have to have the knowledge of engineering electricity.
‘We are in a very beautiful position. And we are happy to say that we
are happy about the knowledge and about what we are doing. We are happy
about the results that we are producing. And we are happy about what we
have done all these past years. Jai Guru Dev.’ |

Maharishi Defines Total Knowledge
Maharishi: ‘Jai Guru
Dev. It is a very great joy, Dr Hagelin, to listen to your clarity with
which you are expounding Unified Field Based Education. Unified Field
Based Education is the education where the knowledge is unified based,
the knowledge unifies all diversities. What unifies all diversity has a
name; Vedic Knowledge. “Veda” means Total Knowledge.
‘Now, what does “Total Knowledge” mean? I will give an example: The
Total Knowledge of a building is in the bricks. Bricks make the walls of
the building, and all that. The building is made of bricks. . . . Now,
what are the bricks made of? The bricks are made of—I am just explaining
what Total Knowledge means. Total Knowledge of the house means knowledge
of the bricks. Now, Total knowledge of the bricks means knowledge of the
grains with which the brick is made—total knowledge of the grains, not
only the knowledge of the concrete grains, but the knowledge of the
connecting space between the grains. Total Knowledge does not mean only
the grains of the concrete, but that which puts the grains together.
That is not a grain, but it is space, which is not grainy, is not
material, but it makes a link between two grains—the space.
‘ “Total Knowledge” means what connects the grains, and not only what
connects the grains, but what is on one side of the space that is
connecting one grain and the other side of the space connecting other
grain. So it is not the space alone, it is not the grain alone. That
means it is not the knowledge of the space alone, it is not the
knowledge of the grain alone, but the knowledge of something mysterious
that connects one grain with the other grain. We say “space”—the space.
The Unified State of
Knowledge is from the Veda
‘All these different areas of
knowledge together make the knowledge unified. That means, so many
different levels of knowledge and not only them, but something that puts
them together. That is the unified state of knowledge. The unified state
of knowledge is from the age old tradition of Total Knowledge, the
knowledge of the Veda.
‘What is there in the Veda? There is a word, and there is a gap. There
is a word and there is a gap, the word and a gap, and a word and a gap.
When you ask the Vedic Pandits to recite the Veda, they will say “Ag-ni-mi-le-pu-ro-hi-tam”.
So they are reciting a word, and when they are not reciting, we call it
a gap. So there is something concrete that comes out in reverberations.
Every word is a reverberating something. And that something that is not
the reverberation of a word, it is silence. And this silence is also not
a static, it is on the move.
‘When we say, “Ag-ni-mi-le-pu-ro-hi-tam”, the word comes out, but the
word is inertia. It is propelled by something that is absence of a word.
That is a line, we say. So the Total Knowledge — now I am just defining
Total Knowledge — Total Knowledge is just not the words, but something
that puts the words in relation to each other, something that is not a
word, something that transcends the word. A word is that which we hear.
In Sanskrit, it is called "Shruti"—you hear. For hearing, the sense of
hearing is needed. So what you hear has its basis in the sense of
hearing. It is a different object.
‘When the sense of hearing, the hearer is involved , the subject is
involved — I am hearing, you are hearing, he is hearing. So the ”I” and
“he”, they become a subject, so that the subject is involved. When the
subject is involved, the verb is involved, the action principle is
involved. The field of action is one aspect of knowledge. The field of
action on the level of non-action is silence. So silence is another
object, which is an object of knowledge. Silence is one aspect, action
is another aspect.
|
|
‘Now, there is something that
connects the silence with action. And what is that? The connecting agent
is there. So the unified aspect is also there. So there are two
different aspects, silence and action, and the third aspect is
connecting aspect. There is the knowledge of each of these separately,
the very fundamental values of silence and action, and the third is the
connecting link between them. When we say silence and action, we say the
word and the gap, and the word and the gap.
‘This is the structure of the Veda, known to all experts of the Veda.
Any language has word and silence, word and silence, word and silence.
In its essential nature, it is knowledge which knows its own nature to
be non-silence. “Action” means non-silence. So there is the knowledge of
silence and the knowledge of non-silence within silence. These are the
engineers of knowledge. When we say “Total Knowledge”, this word “Total
Knowledge” means silence and action, and action and silence together.
‘These are three qualities of action and silence, so we summed them up
to be knower, knowing and known—the three values. Silence is also
knower—knower, knowing and known. Action is also knower, knowing and
known in itself. And the connecting link has to have three on this side
and three on that side—six. So these are the constituents of knowledge.
‘This is Vedic Knowledge, the ultimate, and “ultimate” means the
Constitution of the Uni-verse. This is uni-verse—Uni-verse of
Knowledge—three on this side belonging to knower, knowing, and known in
the field of silence, and knower, knowing, and known in the field of
action. Silence and action putting together three on this side, three on
that side. This completes the field of the knowledge. That is the Veda.
This is insight into knowledge that is Vedic Knowledge.
‘Dr Hagelin has described it in terms of the Unified Field, but these
many details are there within the structure of the Unified Field. That
is why the uni-versity, versified unity—the concept that Dr Hagelin has
brought about in his university—has a wheel within the wheel, wheel
within the wheel. This structure is available to us in the knowledge of
the Veda. It is a beautiful. This is one lump of knowledge with
ingredients: one different from the second, different from the third,
different from the other one, two, three. The one, two, three uniting,
and one, two, three, separating—three uniting, three separating, three
uniting, three separating.
‘This becomes the total structure of knowledge. How, from the Vedic
Tradition, are these fine ingredients of knowledge open to one
awareness? How? The first step is to transcend diversity. Come to
Transcendental Consciousness, and then pick up the ingredients there.
That is Sutras, Siddhi Sutras, pick up. And then pick up the differences
of the Sutras, and transcend the differences of the Sutras, and come
down to more unified level, where you are left with your three levels,
and come down to more, to those three levels, in order to find some
co-operative or differential values of the three.
Total Knowledge in
the Vedic Literature
‘In the Vedic language, the
three are called, Rishi, Devata, Chhand. And the three are Rishi, Devata,
Chhand of this kind and the Rishi, Devata, Chhand of the other kind.
That means one Rishi, Devata, Chhand belonging to the silence value, and
the other Rishi, Devata, Chhand belonging to the dynamism value—silence
value, dynamism value, silence value, dynamism value.
‘In the Vedic Literature, it is the value of Gyan—knowledge—and the
value of Kriya—the value of knowledge and action. Knowledge itself is in
the full value of action, but also one aspect of knowledge has no
action. Itself, all by itself, in no action, it is all silence....
Silence itself is not inertia—it knows itself. It is self-referral. This
self-referral makes it into three divisions. It is self-referral. It
knows itself. It is knower and knowing and known. So from this one
abstract what one gets is three concretes. It is concrete, at once in
the three—one concrete, two concretes, three concretes. This is the
structure of knowledge. And this is how, step by step, one goes from one
to three, and suddenly from one to two, and suddenly three. This is
Total Knowledge.
|
|
‘In the Vedic Knowledge, all
these mechanics of unified diversity are taught to the children in three
syllables—”A”, “I”, “U”. “A” is the first lesson of Total Knowledge.
Within “A” is shown “I”, within “A” and “I” is “U”. The whole alphabet
of the Vedic Language is so profound. All this knowledge is available to
the Seers of the Veda. And it is a joy for everyone, the students of the
Veda, to see how the first Seer of the Veda, Madhuchchhandas, saw the
whole Veda sequentially in layers of “A”; and within “A”, layers of “I;
and within “I”, layers of “U”; and within “A”, “I”, “U”, the whole of
the Veda; and within whole of the Veda, the whole of the Vishwa, the
whole of the universe, the whole of the five elements.
‘Now, here we go into the structural dynamics of creation and all
that—the five Mahabhutas, and then from there the creation. In that are
the eight Prakritis, eight values. From where do the eight come? They
come from: two into two, four; and four into two, eight; and eight into
sixteen, like that. Two, two, two, two, two, because there are
two—knowledge and action, silence and action. The whole theme of
duplicating, triplicating, making quadrupals, multiplying by five is
completely dependent on the structural constituents of knowledge.
‘It is its own theme, which Dr Hagelin comes out in terms of the
scientifically described system of gaining knowledge, step by step, from
one to infinity. Dr Hagelin has beautifully conceived of this one
Central University, because he sees what the constituents of Total
Knowledge are. From a complete abstract something, you analyse “A. What
“A” is “A”? And what is “I”? And what is “U”? “A” is the Rishi, the
Seer. And through what does he see? He sees through Devata. So, he is
Rishi, Devata and Chhand. Chhand is that which hides. So all that hides
is within “A”. All that opens, Devata, is within “I”. And “A” itself is
Totality, and that is called “Brahm”.
‘This is the strength of Dr Hagelin's proclamation. He is going to give
Total Knowledge to every student of his University. That Total Knowledge
is the constituents, the grains, and that which connects the grains to
make the infinity, abstract infinity. He is able to give Total Knowledge
to every student in one syllable, “A”, which is already implicit and
explicit in the structure of the Veda.
‘There is a language in the world that is called Vedic Language. And all
the thousands of languages prevailing in the whole span of time of the
universe, all these, are all the languages with reference to one aspect
of the Vedic Language or the other aspect of the Vedic Language—one
aspect of the Vedic Language or the other aspect of the Vedic Language,
just as I said, a brick. A brick has thousands of grains—a grain in the
middle of the brick and a grain in the end of the brick. There is
something different in the grain middle of the brick and in the grain at
the edge of brick. They are different. All are grains, but each grain
has its own specialty.
‘When we are considering the structure of the combined values of the
grains, like that are the fields of knowledge within one syllable. They
are different fields, even within one syllable. A syllable may be the
beginning syllable or the middle syllable or the end syllable. So there
is uniformity, composed of diversity, and from this reality, is the word
“uni-verse”—versified unity.
‘This is how, in the eternal unity of Total Knowledge, all the
innumerable aspects of knowledge are existing. They are available for
scrutiny, they are known, as you know something from a magnifying glass.
When we see a magnifying glass, what is a magnifying glass? It expands
the vision. It unfolds the vision. There is something that is
unified—two grains. You take a magnifying glass, and immediately you see
that they are made of two. They are made of two, and you can say, “They
are made of two”. One is attracted to the other.
‘So, like the magnifying glass is your vision in the transcendental
field where limitations do not get registered. It is unlimited. And it
is that unlimited, when our awareness becomes familiar with the
unlimited values, that begins to see the junction point within the one
with the other, junction point within the one with the other. Then you
begin to see. In the beginning you may say this point is in this point,
but later you begin to see there is some difference in the points. There
is some difference in the points.

‘These are available in the
different stages of Vedic Literature. One is called the Samhita, Ved.
One is called the Vedangas. One is called the Upangas. One is called the
Sthapatya Ved and the Dhanur Ved. These are all different names of the
different qualities.
‘As our vision becomes familiar with the one, we begin to see that the
one is made of two, that two are made of four, they are made of eight,
they are made of ten, they are made of infinity—infinity at every point.
All that infinity is at every point. Take any point, take a word, it is
called Shabda Brahm—Totality in the form of a sound. How many sounds are
there? So many alphabets, so many syllables, so many words, so many
words are there. What is a word? It is a composite of the letters—Shabda
Brahm. Shabda is also Totality. It is Brahm. Letters are also
Totality—that is also the Brahm. And these letters are made of fine
unmanifest vibrations. That is also Brahm. Complete unmanifest, complete
self-referral, that is also Brahm—so Brahm, Brahm, Brahm, Brahm, Brahm,
Brahm, Brahm, Brahm.
‘Brahm is also Totality, Totality, Totality. So ultimately a phrase
comes out in the field of knowledge: “Totality is all that there
is”—“Sarvam Khalvidam Brahm”. All this is Brahm, Brahm, Brahm. Because,
when you see two grains, it is Totality you see as one—total one. When
you go deeper into it, you understand two, two, two. And when you go
deeper into one, you get into abstract Totality, abstract infinity. You
can make any divisions that you want. These are the different fields of
knowledge. When words enters into anything, from anything you deliver
Total Knowledge, and it steps onto Total Knowledge as you go to the
finer and finer and finer and finer.
‘A speciality of the Central University will be to hand over to the
student one word, one syllable. And then enter into that, and then enter
into that, and enter into that, and enter into that, and enter into
that. Enter into that, from both levels. Experientially, these are our
higher techniques of transcending, higher techniques of Transcendental
Meditation. But at the same time, each level is open to scrutiny by the
intellect.
‘In the classes, the students will get an intellectual probe into the
different levels of reality. In their closing the eyes in the classes,
they will investigate into the Transcendental Field, into the abstract
field. Transcendental Meditation makes the awareness come out of all
sensory perceptions, go to the mental perception, go to the intellectual
perception, go to the self-referral transcendental Being, and that is
called the Unified Field. That is called Totality.
‘This experience of Totality in the Central University will not deprive
the visible world from being appreciated in its entirety. The visible
world being appreciated in its entirety makes a man promote that which
is very necessary, which we call “administration according to Natural
Law”.
‘Today's administration and the administration of the past times have
been on the basis of man-made concepts. Man-made concepts are concepts
in limitation of space and time. And what governs life in space and
time? Not the man-made concepts, but the reality of the unmanifest
field—fluctuations of the unmanifest field. In the manifestations, there
are so many consonants, so many vowels, so much language, and so many
numbers, and all that. But in the reality, it is the experience in the
quieter areas of all these that takes us to the junction point of two
quiet values. And two quiet values, where one differs from the other,
are silence and dynamism.
‘The words of the Totality, the totality of knowledge in the Sanskrit
language are such beautiful words. They say “Nirguna Nirakara Saguna
Sakara”. One talks of complete abstract, and complete abstract is
complete concrete. Complete abstract is complete concrete—one—complete
infinity. Infinity is completely one; infinity is completely many. So,
one is determined between the two.
Total Knowledge
Necessary for Total Education
‘It is a very delightful system
of educating the children.
In the light of this Total Education, all education so far has been
completely useless and a fraud. It was misguiding the people. I am very
frank about it. Education so far has been the opposite of what it should
be.
‘Now, here is Total Education, capable of being handled in one syllable,
in one word, and within that word, details, details, detail, detail,
detail, detail until no detail is any more possible in the abstract
unmanifest field—“Nirguna Nirakara Saguna Sakara”. “Nirguna Nirakara"
means completely beyond everything, and completely beyond everything is
that concrete experience of reality, Totality. This is the field of
Total Knowledge.

‘So far the whole thing [education] was a fraud.
It was a fraud. That is why there is this fraudulent world everywhere.
That is why there is the time of all misery, opposite to life. Life is
bliss, and life is being lived as hell. This has a name, Kali Yuga, the
age of darkness, the Dark Age.
‘But even in the Dark Age, there is a sample of reality. There is the
darkness of the night, and there is the dawn of the daylight—darkness
and light. This shows that if anyone is caught up in the night, he has
only to know that it is coming to an end. Night is not a lasting thing.
Ignorance is not a lasting thing, and this is the time when ignorance is
being replaced by complete Total Knowledge.
‘I marvel at the expressions of Dr Hagelin. He is able to conceive of
the Central University, where he wants to train 40,000 students. It will
take a year or two or three year for the students to become 40,000, but
then this number will be completely enough. Even much before, he will
create invincibility in the world consciousness by creating small, small
areas of this Central University. Dr Hagelin will have small, small
universities in all these small, small countries, and each country will
rise to invincibility with a few people like that.
‘So the whole future of the world, as far as education is concerned, is
so bright and so full of hope, absolutely. I congratulate you Dr Hagelin,
you are able to speak Vedic Wisdom on the level of the wisdom of modern
science.
‘The wisdom of modern science is made on the basis of physical enquiry,
which is open to the senses. But Dr Hagelin has realized the basis of
the senses. The senses require the physical—some physical ears and eyes
and all that—but the basis of this is mind and more abstract, the
intellect and more abstract, the ego. The ego of the individual then
comes on the level of cosmic ego. That is the field of Aham—I am “A”. I
am Totality. I am Total Veda. I am the Constitution of the Universe.
And, I am the expression of the Constitution in terms of the universe.
“Aham Vishwam”—I am the universe.
‘Before I am the universe, I am myself—I am Totality. “Totality” means I
am abstract. I am concrete, abstract, concrete, abstract, concrete,
abstract—one, many, many, one, many, point, infinity, point, infinity,
point, infinity. That is Aham. That I am—Aham. And that is Brahm—Totality.
That is universality. I am the universe. I am the Veda—Total Knowledge.
This is Total Knowledge. This is the Total Knowledge that will be the
realistic value of knowingness of each student of the Central
University.
‘Beautiful, Dr Hagelin, go ahead. You have the blessings of the eternal
tradition of Vedic Knowledge, and you have the appreciation of the
modern scientific age of scientific knowledge. Your balance measures
concrete values, and your balance measures equally well abstract values.
You have a balance, and the balance is a Unified Field of concrete and
abstract. This is your Totality.
‘This is your Central University, and you have your companions who are
bringing out its structure very quickly. You have well selected America,
which has been the most creative country in the scientific field. So,
you have chosen the central point of America to be the seat of your
Central University. You will be the guiding light of the whole world
from that centre of America.
‘Congratulations to you for bringing out so clearly the total field of
Knowledge and associating it with the brain functioning, with the heart
functioning, with the whole physiology. And you have the support of the
greatest scientist of this age, Raja Raam, who said, “Consciousness is
the basis of physiology”. His research in the field of consciousness is
at your disposal. You are representing his Science and Technology
Ministry. In every way, you are so fortunate, and the world is so
fortunate to have you in its midst.
‘All Glory to Guru Dev. Jai Guru Dev.’ | |
