Structuring invincibility for a nation through enlightened students

On 2nd March 1978, during a World Assembly on the Role of Education in Making the Nation Invincible, held in Seelisberg, Switzerland, Maharishi spoke about how Transcendental Meditation and the Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme could create enlightened students and an invincible nation. 

An educated man is an enlightenment man, Maharishi said. In the Age of Enlightenment educators will use the most advanced educational technique, Transcendental Meditation and the Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme, to culture fully the awareness of the student to the state of enlightenment. 

‘In the state of enlightenment, consciousness, the container of knowledge, is unbounded, and in that infinite expansion the student finds infinite freedom,’ Maharishi said. 

Maharishi explained that the role of pure consciousness experienced in Transcendental Meditation is parallel to the Unified Field of quantum physics, which is the unmanifest source of creation. ‘The enlightened student experiences his awareness as the home of all knowledge and the home of all the Laws of Nature, which structure the whole creation,’ Maharishi continued. 

‘When pure consciousness, the home of all the Laws of Nature, is established in the awareness, the student spontaneously ceases to violate the Laws of Nature. All struggle and suffering cease . . . . He is at home with everything and enjoys the benefit of all knowledge even though he has not mastered all branches of learning individually.’ 

Maharishi explained that pure consciousness is the knower, the foundation of all knowledge. Through practice of Transcendental Meditation, the foundation of education, knowledge of the knower, the student’s own Self, is realized. 

‘Knowledge is structured in consciousness,’ Maharishi said. ‘For complete knowledge one must have fully developed consciousness. Transcendental Meditation and the Transcendental Meditation and the Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme develops the full potential of consciousness so that the student can absorb and comprehend the full range of knowledge, from manifest to unmanifest.’ 

Transcendental Meditation is a simple mental procedure ‘that enables any individual to gain the state of enlightenment, full self-realization,’ Maharishi said. 

This practical experience is complemented by Maharishi’s Science of Creative Intelligence, which gives the theoretical understanding of the full display of Creative Intelligence, from the individual to the universal value. 

In the Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme one activates and enlivens the silent field of consciousness, which is a field of all possibilities. When one thinks from this level, any thought automatically manifests. 

‘Researching into his own consciousness as a field of all possibilities, the student finds he can create anything from that level; any desired result can be achieved. Full mastery of the Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme results in authority over Nature,’ Maharishi said. 

Through repeated practice of the Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme, the inner wholeness of consciousness becomes perfectly stabilized. This is the real purpose of the Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme: the development of self-realization, full enlightenment. 

Maharishi said that our confidence in the Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme is based on the personal experience of thousands of people around the world, extensive scientific research, the principles of modern science, and the ancient records of Rk Veda. 

The personal experiences of practitioners of the Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme verify the growth of pure consciousness as a permanent reality of daily life and the growth of the ability to effortlessly fulfil one’s desires. 

The growth of higher states of consciousness also leads to ideal behaviour and more harmonious relationships with others. 

Since pure consciousness is a field of infinite correlation, an impulse in that unbounded consciousness instantaneously nourishes Nature everywhere and stimulates the growth of coherence in collective consciousness. Increased coherence in collective consciousness disallows the birth of an enemy and structures invincibility for the nation. 

‘Time demands enlightenment and national invincibility structured on the basis of enlightened individuals,’ Maharishi concluded. ‘As wise and responsible people, educators will respond to the demand to create enlightened individuals and an invincible nation.’
