During Transcendental Meditation, the awareness opens to the whole range of speech, from grosser to subtler fields of speech and thought, and finally to the source of thought, the unmanifest field of speech, Transcendental Consciousness.

 

 

Providing the basis of speech—making speech vital to fulfil its purpose

In June 1972 in Fiuggi Fonte, Italy, Maharishi spoke about the goal of speech. He said that both teaching and learning are based on the flow of speech. The teacher's awareness thrills the student's awareness, and this is how the stream of knowledge flows.

'Speech is the expression of awareness—the unmanifest, silent field of pure Creative Intelligence,' Maharishi said. 'The goal of speech is to express the unbounded, infinite, transcendental value of life, where speech is silent.

'Rk Veda says that the power of speech is able to bind the boundless. Speech from the level of the teacher's unbounded awareness brings unboundedness to direct cogition and reveals the lively value of infinity in the heart of the student.'

Through the practical aspect of Maharishi's Science of Creative Intelligence, the Transcendental Meditation technique, awareness opens to the whole range of speech, from grosser to subtler fields of speech and thought, and finally to the source of thought, the unmanifest field of speech, Transcendental Consciousness.

'The experience of Transcendental Consciousness structures in the mind the ability to comprehend the boundaries of speech along with the boundless, unmanifest value of speech,' Maharishi continued.

Maharishi explained that all disciplines are taught on the basis of language. The Science of Creative Intelligence reveals the existence of a more basic level of speech at the source of thought, which is the origin of all languages. This unmanifest field of speech provides a non-changing, immovable basis to education and supports all fields of learning.

'When speech is founded on this unbounded value at the source of speech, it is capable of bringing to all disciplines the unbounded value of knowledge,' Maharishi continued. 'In order that the entirety of knowledge becomes a living reality of daily life for every educated man, it is necessary that speech be grounded in its unmanifest, unbounded, eternal value at the source of thought.'

The Science of Creative Intelligence provides the direct experience of the transcendental value of speech and enlivens the whole range of thought so that every impulse of thought is spontaneously evolutionary. This results in comprehensive, progressive, and fulfilling speech.

'When the whole range of speech is lively in our awareness, then the whole field of knowledge will naturally become lively,' Maharishi said.

'Creation is the expression of awareness. The whole range of creation is the speech of the Creator, the expression of Creative Intelligence. The systematic study of the nature, application, development, and range of speech is the science of speech. By opening our awareness to the source of speech, the Science of Creative Intelligence brings fulfilment to the science of speech,' Maharishi concluded.
