********************
MAHARISHI: "’Rishayah Mantradrishtârah’. Now, come on, you must remember this thing, it's beautiful: ‘Rishayah Mantradrishtârah’. Remember this: ‘Rishayah Mantradrishtârah’.
This is the definition of a Rishi: The seer of the mantras. Both, Shrutis and Smritis are called mantras. (…) A Rishi is he who is a seer who sees the Truth. And Maharishi is he who applies that Truth to the life of the people.
(…) The seer who sees is a Rishi. What he sees? He sees the content of life and he sees the fundamental of living. (…) And Maharishi is he who puts that knowledge to the masses, who applies that knowledge to the lives of the people.”
