An educated man should be a man of fully developed consciousness so that he has the fruit of all knowledge — the ability to feel at home with everything — available to him at all times.

The fruit of education: Feeling at home with everything

In his series of lectures in four pocket-sized books Maharishi Speaks to Students: Mastery over Natural Law*, Maharishi said that in the Age of Enlightenment, the time of Heaven on Earth, all aspects of life will be ideal. An ideal education system will develop the individual in such a way that he does not make mistakes.

'If an individual is capable of functioning from the state of least excitation of consciousness, or Transcendental Consciousness, then every field of his life will be enriched,' Maharishi said. This has been shown by over 600 scientific research studies on Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme, which confirm that all aspects of individual and collective life are improved by these Vedic technologies of consciousness.

Knowledge is structured in consciousness, and knowledge is different in different states of consciousness. ‘If consciousness is clear, one evaluates perception in an orderly, perfect way. If consciousness is incoherent, perception and action are weak,’ Maharishi said.

‘Each sate of consciousness has its own value of knowledge, and to have all values of knowledge, the full potential of consciousness should be wide-awake. Unity Consciousness is the fully developed, unified state of consciousness in which all values of knowledge are available.’

An educated man should be a man of fully developed consciousness so that he has the fruit of all knowledge available to him at all times. The fruit of all knowledge is the ability to feel at home with everything. ‘Only if one’s awareness is open to the field of all possibilities, the state of least excitation of consciousness, can one really feel at home with everything.’

Maharishi University of Management has developed an ideal system of education in which the student enjoys the fruit of all knowledge while he is studying the different disciplines. On this basis, gaining knowledge is a joy to every student.

‘This system of education will keep enlightenment lively in society,’ Maharishi concluded. ‘On that basis progress will be free form resistance and problems. This will stabilize the Age of Enlightenment generation after generation.’
