Quote for the week

Maharishi Speaks to Students and Educators

Main Points from
Maharishi's Lecture of 15 January 1982
Seelisberg, Switzerland

‘It is the responsibility of education to train the individual to act spontaneously in accordance with the Laws of Nature.

‘Education attempts to give knowledge of Natural Law, but the approach that has been adopted thus far is fragmented and ineffective. In the objective approach of modern science one studies only a few isolated Laws of Nature. Even the most advanced scientific understanding provides only a fraction of the knowledge of all the Laws of Nature.

‘Even if it were possible to know all the Laws of Nature intellectually, still it is not possible to live spontaneously in accordance with Natural Law on the basis of this intellectual knowledge. The only basis for acting in accordance with Natural Law is to establish one’s awareness in Pure Consciousness, the home of all the Laws of Nature.

‘Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme provides the experience of Pure Consciousness, the simplest state of the knower, and develops in the individual the ability to act spontaneously from this level, which is the ground state of Natural Law.’
