Global Good News: Excellence in Action

'Pure intelligence, pure consciousness, is the basis of all creation,' Maharishi said. 'Every level of creation is the excitation of pure intelligence—pure knowledge, pure organizing power.'

Physics tells us that the whole creation consists of excitations of the non-excited vacuum state of the quantum field [now known as the Unified Field]. The vacuum state is a field of infinite correlation—self sufficient, capable to functioning within itself.

Maharishi continued : 'The different Laws of Nature are the expressions of pure knowledge, which is the ground state of all the Laws of Nature. Every expression of creation is thus the expression of pure subjectivity—pure consciousness, pure knowledge.

'Pure consciousness, being conscious of itself, functions from within itself, and this is why every level of creation is self-sufficient. The discovery of pure knowledge in the Transcendent through the Transcendental Meditation and Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme enlivens the values of self-sufficiency, perfect organization, and all possibilities in every level of existence.'

Physics states that attention enlivens the object. When human attention opens to the field of pure knowledge at the basis of creation, then the basis of all creation is enlivened.

'When one's awareness reaches the field of pure knowledge, individual awareness becomes Cosmic Awareness, the field of pure knowledge itself,' Maharishi continued. 'Human awareness in that state is the cosmic basis of all life, fully awake within itself.

'When the cosmic basis of all life is fully awake within itself, the full potential of Natural Law is enlivened in all levels of life. In this way the whole creation becomes orderly and evolutionary in its tendencies.'

Through the influence of over two million people practising the Transcendental Meditation Programme, Natural Law has been enlivened and orderliness is increasing in the world. There has been a lack of perfect organization on every level of society because pure knowledge, the holistic value of Natural Law, was not available.

'In this generation we have the technique to open our awareness to the field of pure knowledge, the basis of life, and from there we rejoice in enriching all values of life,' Maharishi said.

"The potential of every student is infinite. The time of student life should serve to unfold that infinite potential so that every individual becomes a vibrant centre of Total Knowledge."—Maharishi
