 world has seen enough events


though history repeats,it repeats in new versions, time, place, context, pretext,

backdrop being always of contemporary in the present

heritages, hermitages are things of past

tallest concrete sky scrapers competing with mountain temples and minars

swimming pools drowning the old wells

Adaptability, adoptability is a most wanted ability,

as against the rigidity, inflexibility, inability

against inevitable oddity of

newness,freshness,in blossoming beauty

Soulful, beautiful creativity conquering the relativity

penetrating the absolute, the eternity

love uniting all fraternity

reveling in repartee

in universe's grand party"

Strictures are violated

scriptures are obsoleted,

impositions are obstructed

new alphabets are invented

new words are injected

new poetry dawns

new history spans

old world gets annihilated

new world is created

It's a continuous process of

observation, absorption, digestion,

renovation, innovation, implementation,

refinement, experimentation,

adventure, discovery, mastery

eventual perfection

unending flow till reaching the unlimited expansion

 Man Is Made In The Image Of God: Maharishi Mahesh Yogi


 


Man Is Made In The Image Of God

by Diane M. Rousseau


Note: Quotes by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi are from his Satellite News Conference - March 28, 2006.


Tuesday while watching the latest news conference by Maharishi, even though the main focus of the conference was on the New World Capital of Peace inauguration in Kansas, my attention was on Maharishi's intense speech about God.


Maharishi is looking intently into the camera before speaking. At 94 he exudes strength, intensity, love and power; the same feeling he has held all these years, if not more, for the benefit of humankind.


Maharishi begins by saying,


His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi“It is a joy for me today to reflect on the need that has been felt throughout the ages by the wise throughout the ages, that life is to be lived in its full creative potential, that life is recommended to be the representation of The Will of God. The Will of God is omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient reality.”


Maharishi goes on to say that the material value of a human is what is usually thought of as important, but man is made in the image of God. That the physiology of man, mind, ego, outside and inside is the expression of supreme fulfillment which is on the level of Almighty God. Maharishi emphasized that human life has to Be in Bliss Eternal, that this should be the flow of human life.


Maharishi said again,


“Human is all Divine, Man is made in the image of God. From earliest ancient times it was known man is Divine. The Divinity of man is not a human concept, it is a Divine concept. The Divine in man, the Divinity, is the real character quality of human life.”


Maharishi continues, "Human life has to be in the waves of Bliss. This is the real nature of life on earth."


Looking very seriously Maharishi slowly spoke the following,


“... But, the practical life on Earth does not accept this definition of human life. What is human? Normal means to make mistakes, Superior value of life is in the religions, This shows that man is made in the image of God. The only human right is to be Divine on the functional level of life. This definition of life has not been realized on the level of human awareness. This is due to lack of education. Education as it is, has been teaching man to be a slave, to be another's slave. Due to the current education system, children are not made aware of their own character of life as a Light of God. This knowledge is due to lack of education. Education to be proper must include the naturalness of life, which is the Light of God, the Will of God.”


Some of you may be surprised at these comments, but first some background. I have been a SRM/TM Meditator for thirty-four years. I began the practice of Transcendental Meditation through the Spiritual Regeneration Movement (SRM) which was started by Maharishi in 1955 in India. When I was Initiated into Transcendental Meditation in 1972, my Initiator DTB III had just returned from Maharishi's Teacher Training Course in Spain. Mr. B had been with Maharishi and was personally taught by him. We were a small group of ten people at the University of Washington Campus attending Mr. B's first lecture on Transcendental Meditation.


Mr. B has an MS in Physics and went into scientific explanations of the Transcendental Meditation technique. I understood the release of stress, the calming of the mind but I wanted to hear about the spiritual aspect of meditation. Having been raised Catholic and interested in spiritual philosophy since age 13, I wanted to hear about God.


When Mr. B finished his lecture, he looked at me and said, "Do you want to start Transcendental Meditation?"


Looking at me he knew I wanted to hear something else, and then to my surprise he said, "Do you want to experience God?"


I said "Yes!" and so my husband and I were his first Initiates that week. I can share with you that I did experience God, a profound peace, a beautiful love from the inside that I could not explain.


His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Charlie LutesExperiences came and my initiator contacted Charlie F. Lutes who was World Governor of the International Meditation Society and World President of the Spiritual Regeneration Movement for Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Charlie Lutes had been with Maharishi since 1958 and traveled around the world with him starting Transcendental Meditation centers, helping out and lecturing. SRM was started in the USA in 1958.


Charlie Lutes talked to me on the phone and told me to see him when he came up and lectured in Seattle later that year. A profound speaker and dedicated to Maharishi, Charlie spoke of higher consciousness, spiritual principles and the inner life that unfolds as one develops.


Charlie Lutes and Dr. Diane M RousseauWhen I met with Charlie privately he told me what I was experiencing was natural. He took me under his wing and became my mentor and friend, along with his wife Helen, for the next 29 years until their passing in 2001.


Although this may be new to some, this is just the surface of what Maharishi has been teaching since the beginning in 1955. Everything I quoted earlier by Maharishi I have heard before in Maharishi's earlierSRM teachings. He has never veered from his purpose. Maharishi has never been anything other a Spiritual Being who cares profoundly for all humanity and wants to heal the suffering and pain, the confusion and lack of direction, the sadness and loneliness. Maharishi has always wanted humankind to know "themselves" and has quoted Scripture since the beginning. A statement that I remember Maharishi saying in a SRM lecture tape (1964) was, "First experience God, then one will know to do right action."


The knowledge of SRM is the knowledge to spiritually regenerate one's self into Being, theDivine Self. Maharishi teaches that Transcendental Meditation is the tool which unlocks the inner experience, enabling one to transcend the mind into the Supreme Nature of Bliss and awareness of Divinity. The inner knowledge gives one the direct experience of truth and this process goes on continuously, unfolding a higher consciousness and reality. This gives a profound insight to life and an appreciation of nature and respect for all life. The Laws of God become natural as one understands the deeper realities of life.


To continue with the Conference talk, Maharishi said, "Divine Law is the Law of the Almighty Merciful God. Education has to include God and be in terms of the Supreme quality of life."


Maharishi asked again, "And what is lacking? Education is lacking. God is not a new reality!"


Maharishi continued, explaining:


“Total knowledge is the turnkey to make the Will of God natural in life, as was known in ancient times. This was a blossom of fullness and bliss. Since that time, the relationship between man and Divine was in education in Veda, knowledge; the Almighty side of consciousness. This education is the turnkey for this to become a reality on surface life. The knowledge of God, the technology of the practice (Transcendental Meditation), makes a concept of total value of life in Bliss on every level in human awareness. There has been a Tradition, called The Holy Tradition of Total Knowledge passed on throughout time from generation to generation of human life. These people upheld in their family and Vedic Tradition of the family. They committed to memory the Knowledge.


Whole Source in Veda is in one syllable, "Ahhh".


The whole Tradition comes from one syllable, one single source that flows into relative life. Knowledge of these syllables is the seed. There is emptiness in the seed, from this emptiness is the unmanifest of creation which goes into manifest creation. Through memorization, the one word (sound) became the second word and on and on like a river that becomes the ocean. River of Veda, Total Knowledge, unbounded systematically and how it expands into different manifestations and this has to be education, to unfold the interior into the exterior of life.


Fifty years ago, a new awakening came into the same old reality. The Unknown was brought to human awareness; unlimited reservoir of total knowledge into their consciousness. The guiding of every action, right action, will produce right results. Creator of Natural Law; this is the unfoldment of Divinity within the unfoldment of humanity. This is real education! Education must unfold the new reality. Humans have had wrong education; to be a servant. This is not freedom It is a misuse of life. To save mankind from this useless education, total natural Divinity must unfold within each individual to have unlimited potential in all areas.


Power of action is an integral part of the unlimited potential in the reality of Bliss that Vedic Education, that Science, will now study and express. Self referral of unified field transforms itself into the relative; it appears to transform. It is internal. It is wholeness of silence in dynamism - all from the nowness from the Transcendental Consciousness of Divinity of the Universe. It is in the silence. Transcendental is not in human mind, but in the field of the Unmanifest. Transcendental is the source of all energy; orderly growth of energy into segments of growth - units of intelligence. Know all is Divine. This is real freedom and consciousness based in right action.” Maharishi commented on his experience of coming to the USA in the late 50s. He said that coming to a country of size as the USA, he found the U.S. people more understanding of the truth. Maharishi said, "The soil held the consciousness of science."


Maharishi found the collective consciousness of the country to be the radiance (through meditation), to be the Light of the World. Then, speaking about countries and governments in general, Maharishi said, “Whatever a government does is motivated by national consciousness. Policy is motivated by total national consciousness. A change can be had by the transformation of humanity to Divinity. Government can only do what it is doing. To change this, raise the quality of collective consciousness and then the government will naturally do better and better. This will change government through the transformation and new Laws will be made automatically.


Ancient wisdom will always be held by small numbers. Throughout time, of people who hold the Vedic tradition, darkness will disappear and we will see peace in this world.


All Glory to the Tradition of Vedic Masters; Silence in Action.


All Glory to God.


Victory to The Great Master Brahmananda Saraswati. Guide us, lead us, to take the world population to perfection in life.


Victory to you Maharishi Mahesh Yogi To the Heart who came into the World to give the Supreme Knowledge, So all people everywhere could experience God within themselves, So each could know the Truth in their Scriptures, So each can experience the Kingdom Of God, To create a World of Peace, Heaven on Earth.

Yes, i agree on essence .

but our terminology is not as precise as is required to make our talk straight to the point


the key requirement is the experience of settled state of consciousness, also termed as the least excited state of consciousness, state of stillness,

it is the state of perfect orderliness, no chaos, zero entropy , unmanifest, absolute, parabrahman, the state of union, yoga kshethra


once this state gets stabilized in our daily living , we become yogastha, then we start seeing the deeper implications of vedic utterances, and start living that wisdom in our thinking talking and walking ..hence every effort is to be invested in gaining this level

in this state, there are lot more things will be discovered, and one's life rises to '' the best'' possible level with all virtues unfolding in one's character, without negativity or conflicts with any one or any thing in the universe

i hope we have reconciled fully

lets enjoy , even if joy be mithya , thank youREPLYDELETE  Like

Yes, we end up exactly where we started it.. yes it is Mithya, i concur, and indicates that we both have reached that state

is it sufficient?? should we become silent??no


on the other hand exactly to reach that state of realization, and to make all to realize that state , all the arduous journey is a requirement, and hence HH and Swaminiji and all the delegates, have so kindly taken up this real tough journey sparing valuable time, resources, and strain of travel ...which is not mithya


in the as is state , we cannot dismiss the deplorable decline in the morality around, and the repeating crime and suffering scenario, can we be just closing the eyes and repeating ''rahma sathyam jagat mithya'' no, arjun, do not be deluded, get up and fight , do your duty,

"Thank you., this input , with precision in expression, helping me to fine tune my understanding ‘’experiences come and go. Cognition/knowledge remains’’...........so it delineates what is valuable and what is not, and takes one out from illusions of spiritual attainments based on ‘’experiences’’, like unusual visions apparitions /images/noises/messages/coincidences, and resultant mixed feelings/emotions leading them to relate with bhakthi/ista devatha etc , missing the ‘’Cognition/knowledge’’ they might have/ have not stumbled up on , hence, resultant glorification of mysticism.‘’That is what I have been telling all along - 'anubhava' is not a 'pramana', it is subjective, differs from person to person, and cannot be passed on.……..…yes, perfectly reasonable, most important to distinguish what to really learn from the great souls, separating the biography[ it may have due place as an inspiration], and person-specific ‘’miracles’’ and only getting at the insights they have gained and expressed, which only can enrich the wisdom . ‘’Knowledge is obtained through Pramana - 'Valid means of knowledge'’’………..yes, for this one himself should be able to gain access to the field within ie ’’satyam gnyanam anantam ‘’nice to read details on navarasas, and their adoption ‘’Bharata’s “Nātyasāstra has only eight rasas’’……….this appears right, since he is a rsi, who did see’’rasovaisaha’’, and has no confusion Ānandavardhana being an aesthetician, not a rsi, might have given only an extrapolation, but its own beauty, and relating shantha with mukthi in his own way, I too tend to differ with him, but I like to read it .Similarly Abhinavagupta the famous Polymath , not a rsi, must have simply liked it and felt like adding it as 9 th rasaMy comments are just my gut feeling, but advaitin ‘s stand appeals me more.Shantha/ rasovaisah state it tallies with ‘’gap value / sandhi‘’ by some people, like the ‘’carrier wave ‘’ in electronics, over which 8 rasas have their play , ‘’This last para has enough feed for me ‘’I am not sure whether the purpose of the aesthetician/s is to take the connoisseurs from the experience to cognition, but I have never seen it happening. Cognition is different. And it is only after cognition that one can appreciate the aesthetics’’’’ This para has a lot for me to think and comment, I like to explore in detail ......after a pause , pranams"

"''If an enlightened beings aura could control the environment around then we all would have been enlightened without our efforts'''..................yes surely , provided that is sufficiently large to neutralize the high entropy that is prevailing in the environ osho has stated that 200 such persons are enoughanother calclulation says around 7000 persons what ever the figure, we may conclude that it is possible but this fact can be put to effective use by practical implementationthe meeting is an indicator that the entropy of the conference is very high , leading to not so pleasant scene not expected in such holy congregation safely we can infer that ''aura'' that exists is not adequate, as a temporary relief best thing would have been to spare 30 minutes for silently closing the eyes and meditate before and after the sessions and with one more session before lunch, and that definitely would have helped"

"I concur, on your views on ''Most people......Most of the time ,, seeing chaos which is mithya'' also , I concur on your reasoning that they are just ''repeating'' without getting the implication of vedic wisdom into their life. because of this very reason, one has to pick up the ''road map'' and do ''the journey'' and attain the same ability of vedic sages to see '' the perfect order '', until and unless this ability is gained, one ''continue to see entropy and will continue to vibrate to chaos.so please note that this journey and all the efforts of HH and Swaminiji is no mithya, but a requirement to make one and all to rise to the experience of perfect order, ie to see ''chaos as mithya''"

View of Yāska that the knowledge residing in human beings is '' impermanent,'' is not correct, since , rsis too are human beings , rsis have expressed that which is residing in them ,heard from their inside only

he does not distinguish between surface/intellectual created knowledge which is impermanent, and the eternal knowledge that resides beyond the intellect 

this proves that he lacks the experience of para kshethra,brahman.... consequently failed to give a truthful opinion on apaurusheyatva of vedas 

so sankara excelsREPLYDELETE  Like (1)

View of Mīmāmsākas: Mīmāṃsā treats the Veda as a Dharmaśāstra

''..., seems in a way correct, since veda is a compendium of various laws of dharma, like how nature is functioning, how human has to function


however ‘’words were self-sufficient in authority.’is also seems correct , since these vedic words are not just a play in plain vocabulary but they are links to the knowledge that is existing in compact/ compressed fashion , and each word/ phrase/ expression can unfold enormous wisdom when read by a intelligent reader 


these words are of sanskrit , which itself a revealed language, the words , the grammar are not just fabricated by a literary genius ,so words themselves hold the knowledge of the thing they are describingREPLYDELETE  Like (1)

1.'' Vedas say that It is Apauruṣeya: Apauruṣeyattvam of the Vedas is stated in the Vedas itself''......true if vedas are accepted as authority unconditionally 

it is like i am telling a truth , and take it as truth no need of verificationREPLYDELETE  Like (1)

4. View of Bādarāyaṇa Vyāsa, ''Brahman is the source of the śāstra i.e. the Vedas, hence it is apauruṣeya''.

...........since vyasa is a great rsi, even this statement is as true as the veda, as rsis say what they have ''heard''

but , since brahman is the source of everything , everything that is created by any human or any being too can be deduced as apaurusheya using the same premise ,..... this may be utterly fallacious , 

so logic fails, 

since logic fails, logic cannot be a tool for ascertaining truth 

so , instead of relying on logic, even that of vyasa, one must rely on ''that ''which lead vyasa to proclaim so

and ''that'' is the tapasya, only a tapasvi can testify apurusheyathva of veda , not othersREPLYDELETE  Like

5 View of Kumāriḷa Bhaṭṭa: ''Every extant school held some scripture to be correct.''.

.......this happens since the followers stop questioning struck by the ''aura '' of their favorite sage who generally will be at a higher level in his vision than the followers.. so they simply glorify, rather than verify.

''(apauruṣeya) would safeguard the Vedas against all reproach.'

........rather , vedas , if apaurusheya in the truest sense, will never get lost, ....''losing'' happens due to the inability of the generations to raise themselves to the level of vedic rsis. since the nature of nature is to create a few individuals in every generation who strive to that level and do a rediscovery of vedas again and again, not by just repeating/reciting 


every student of veda is required to strive to rise thru similar tapasya to become the sacred instrument in the hands of natureREPLYDELETE  Like

View of Swāmi Dayānanda Saraswati

''vi) If you have to learn Vedanta, you have to treat Vedas as pramāṇa.''

.................If you have to learn Vedanta, the single vital requirement is the doing of tapasya exactly like the vedic rsis did

nothing is a precondition for reaching the level of vedic rsis , simply intense tapasya reveals all 

no need of accepting apaurusheya, nor study of vedas, but tapasya validates the apaurusheyatva, and that's itREPLYDELETE  Like

8. The Vedas and the Genetic Fallacy, by Arvind Sharma..'':the truth of the statement has to be determined by empirically determining whether it is raining or not; and not by appealing to the trustworthiness, ''

..........yes, but arvind sharma should know that a ''hyper link ed'' expression does not mean simply the literal meaning of that expression , truth of that expression , what it contains can only be accessed by clicking that link with internet connection ensured

similarly truth of veda is not the literal meaning , cannot reveal by emperical verification, but by the purity attained thru tapasa
