[Music] Maharishi's offer to the [Music] world: Supreme knowledge for every area of society to rise to Enlightenment. Achar Rion behavior upholding the evolutionary and nourishing aspects of natural law. His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, 21st of November 1990, Maharishi Vedic University [Music] Holland.

It's a very interesting topic, R, and the relationship R can be talked in terms of many, many levels of reality. In the sense that every aspect is nourishing and helping growth, all that behavior, all that uh activity, all that thought perception that will be nourishing, that will be evolutionary to everyone will be Rus. And so is the term relationship. Relationship also has its purpose and has its reality in nourishing. Every relationship is significant in the meaning of nourishing or supporting evolutionary. All these values of different relationships, all these values of different rasas, they emerge from that level of intelligence which is Unified in itself, Unity level of intelligence where the Observer is Unified with the observed, and it itself is the process of observation. Process of observation is that which links the Observer with the observed. Process of observation is a means of bringing together the two: one Observer, one observed. And the process of observation serves as relationship which is unifying. Relationship is always unifying, and the purpose of unification is nourishment to both.

In the state of unity Consciousness where the Observer is observing himself, the Observer is in the unified state of Observer-observed in the process of observation, the S, as we call it in the Vedic language, the S level of reality where pure wakefulness, unbounded level of Awakening is known to itself. This situation is the ground state of all the laws of nature. This is the unmanifest source of the whole creation, the unmanifest basis of all relationships, the source of all Ras, the source of all nourishment. Here in this state of self-referral reality, in that state of pure wakefulness, is that Supreme level of intelligence which within itself is Immortal, Eternal. I'm using the word immortal, Eternal, just to show that that reality is a continuum, that level of life, that level of intelligence which we know to be transcendental level of intelligence, out of all relative diversity. This unified pure state of wakefulness, it is its own relationship; it nourishes itself; it is nourishing itself. That means it is serving as its own R. Ras is nourishment to nourish. Here that pure wakefulness, pure intelligence, transcendental Consciousness awake in itself is an eternal continuum, and it can be so only when it is competent to nourish itself continuously without a break. It is related to itself; it is the source of all relationships; it is the source of all different values of Ras; different values of Rus. Dant very beautifully has classified those Ras, and this good thing, and this good thing, all the good values, they nourish; they nourish the environment; nourishing the environment, they cause evolutionary direction for every little thing that exists in the environment. It's nourishing to physiology; nourishing to physiology, it causes every aspect of physiology to be evolving in the direction of evolution. Evolution, Evolution, and it is eternally so because that level of intelligence is a continuum, indestructible. There is no diversity; pure wakefulness which we all know, and we all doing this CD program, we know that how spontaneously it functions on that ground of Eternal silence.

In this functioning on the ground of Eternal silence, the picture is of dynamism on the ground of Silence: silence and dynamism, acting and non-acting. How this acting and non-acting level of intelligence becomes the source of its own diverse Expressions? This is what we'll consider now: how Unity becomes diversity; if it does, how it becomes the mechanics of transformation of the self-referral dynamics into object-referral ripples of dynamism in order to express in sound, and various sounds, and sound into form, and form into various forms, the whole range of evolution. Pure Consciousness in its self-referral State, how does it become different and expressing itself in different levels of intelligence, creates the whole field of speech, the sound, and from there the whole speech of matter and the whole universe. This entire mechanics of evolution, how does it happen, and where to form a line of demarcation that this is evolutionary, this is non-evolutionary, this is helpful, this is not helpful; this food is good, this season is good, this time is good, or this time is not good? Where to demarcate? In this we'll find the source of all the description of different characters or different values of Ras and different values of relationships. How Unity becomes diversity? How Unity becomes diversity? From where the Consciousness in self-refer state turns into Consciousness in the object-referral States, and from there turns into sound, and from there turns into form, and the whole process of evolution. The self-refer loops that Dant describes, we will see where it originates, and then we know from where we have the description of rasas in the Chak. Chak is a level of Consciousness; Chak is a level of Consciousness; it's a book also, but essentially the book is an expression of that level of Consciousness.

Now what happens is an experiment in physics: you create a sine wave. There a sine wave is the is the fundamental wave, and all the other ways, small ways and big ways and all kinds of other ways, they are just the Expressions, different, different variations of the same sine wave. Now you create a sine wave; what you are doing is creating a sine wave between two points. You create a wave like a cord, create a wave; you just engage yourself in creating a wave, S Wave and S Wave; we just create S Wave and S Wave, and what happens suddenly that simplest wave begins to be complex. Some bumps will rise here; some bumps will rise here; some rise here, and the relationship of these bumps when they begin to appear, and then they be different ways and different ways and different bumps and different innumerable variety of ways will appear. What you are doing, you are only creating a sine wave; you're only creating a sine wave, and wave in itself through its own continuous operation within itself multiplies itself in different, different ways, in different, different ways. Now wave, where is this sine wave? The sine wave is in the relationship of the Observer with himself, in the self-centered state of intelligence where that pure wakefulness is established in itself, and pure wakefulness established in itself, the intelligence value of wakefulness. You know there are two values in this; I'm trying to Define all the whole phenomenon, and then we'll be at the at the at the basic understanding of Ras, these values, and they are not developed from the level of experiments. You do this and you do this, and thousand people took this, so this is the effect and all. No, this is a very objective way of of of analyzing the values which we are used to in this, so we say scientific ways of analysis, but Ras and all that is there in imprint of Ak and Shush and W, all these different, different literatures of A, all that originates from this fundamental level of wakefulness, an unbounded, eternal, eternal, Eternal, we, because a continuum; it's a continuum, unbounded, Eternal, nonspecific, complete, non-localized, un-defined Singularity, completely awake within itself. It knows itself; knowing itself, it knows I Am The Observer, I observing myself, observed is also myself. I The Observer is certainly myself, and the connecting Link Between The Observer and The observed is also myself. All the three together we say in the language Sita, or unified value of the Observer, observed, and process of observation. In the Vedic language, Observer is called Rishi, observed is called Chas, and the process of observation is called theism. So and Chas in the state, the obser observ in their unified State, pure wakefulness knowing itself. It is four essential characteristics in one holistic framework, S, one holistic framework, and within it the qualities of the Observer, observed, and observation, rishat and Chas. So S ofish and Chas is the structure of that unified holistic value of Consciousness, pure wakefulness. In this is pure wakefulness, SAS is just theity of wakefulness, and what is the quality of this wakefulness? That it is S, it isas, it is Unified Singularity; at the same time it is Observer, observed, and observation, unified Singularity, obser observ observation. Now this is the intelligence aspect of pure wakefulness which is characterizing in its own structure, analyzing in its own structure, and finding that structure is Unity, structure is diversity, diversity, Unity, diversity, Unity. At the time when it is diversity, it is Unity; at the time it is Unity, it is diversity. What is happening in this Unity, diversity, Unity, diversity, Unity, divers? This is the reality of that pure wakefulness which we experience at Transcendental Meditation. It's Unity, diversity; it's Unity with infinite frequency, with infinite frequency. These two Val vales go on: diversity, Unity, diversity, Unity, diversity, Unity. This is the ingoing and outgoing breath of immortality; this is how immortality breeds; this is how Infinity breaths; this is how unified holistic value observes infinite Diversified values within its own structure. What is happening there is a pulsation; it's Pulsation, and ul is in the infinite frequency, because when we say at the same time it is dynamic, at the same time it is silence. When it is same time Dynamic, when same time silence, then the frequency of this, frequency of this interchange, this frequency is infinite. Being infinite, the values that are interchanging themselves, they are constantly, the change is a Continuum. So the change is Continuum; the change is upheld by the Lively state of non-change, non-change, because infinite is a straight line, infinite frequency, a straight line; it's pure Singularity, but nevertheless it potential infinite dynamism, dynamism, and this. So This infinite frequency pulsating within itself, infinite, the pulsation of infinite value, pulsation of infinite value. This pulsation of infinite value is just like you create simplest wave, wave, and you just create wave; you are doing the same sine wave, but it's rising in complex waves. The same infinite frequency of S and Chas, we see it at Singularity; we see it as mechanics of transformation of Singularity into diversity, Singularity into diversity; both things are happening simultaneously. And what is happening [Music] knowingness, abstract pure knowingness, that intelligence of pure wakefulness [Music] knowingness, knowing itself begins to pulsate in a man, so that there is impulse, at the same time there is Cony, there is impulse in there an Impulse in theum. Impulse means we it is sound. Now sound on the ground of no sound, sound on the ground of no sound, the sound knowing itself, pure wakefulness, pure knowingness pulsating within itself as the Noah knowing and known, Noah knowing and known, and togetherness of no an KN and known, togetherness of no an knowing and known, and no an knowing and known, and togetherness of no knowing and known, and separateness of Noah knowing and known. So in this this change, this transformation, this transformation within the structure of unity, this transformation within the structure of unity, the fundamental level of relationship of unity with itself, Unity related to itself, unified Hess, eternity related to itself, immortality related to itself. This is the Eternal relationship, nonchanging, nonchanging; it's always with with and Chas da and Chas are the three conceptual realities of the Unified istic value of pure wakefulness, Unity Consciousness, pure wakefulness, Unity Consciousness, because it's a f of pure knowingness, pure intelligence knowing itself. It is no knowing and known, and it is the togetherness of no knowing and known; it is S, it is UNIF, it is Chasers CH. This relationship between the two is that impulse, most fundamental impulse, most fundamental impulse, where there is no two, there are no two; there is only one related to oneself, one sing Singularity related to itself, Singularity exchanging with itself, Singularity behaving with itself. This is the absolute level of relationship, absolute of relationship is absolute level of nourishing quality. Wakefulness nourishes wakefulness; knowingness nourishes knowingness; result is eternal knowingness, Eternal wakefulness. This is the Ultimate Reality at the unmanifest basis of creation; this is the level of immortality, eternity, unboundedness, all-knowingness, and in this is the spontaneous emergence of divers, and how this spontaneous emerg of diversity, Rishi behaving with de de behaving with Chas, Chas behaving with Rishi, Rishi with with with Chas, mut relationship; it's only one relationship, single with single, Singularity behaving with itself, nourishing itself, Singularity nourishing itself. This is the fundamental behavior, and with this is the fundamental resonance, fundamental sound, fundamental sound. Now this fundamental sound, fundamental sound, fundamental sound, a holistic sound, because in this in this Immortal unbounded knowingness, The Observer is unbounded, observed is unbounded, process of observation unbounded, me eternal going on everywhere; it's one holistic Observer, one holistic observed, there one holistic process of observation; it's an eternal Continuum of a simple [Music] H. It's a simple H, and because of that hum, a continuous self-referral, we would say here reverberation, rever self-referral, rever on the self-referral level will also be indicated by a straight line. If you want to demonstrate silence eternal, let me say straight line, straight line means no wavy character, no impulse, but straight line. So Express Singularity by a straight line. Now straight line, we can see within this straight line infinite frequency, because infinite frequency means no no more frequency like that, it with such infinite, infinite frequency that there is no ups and downs in that straight line. So infinite frequency will also be demonstrated by a straight line; infinite silence will also be demonstrated by silence, and this is this this silence then we see is a a a a system of demonstrating how that sense wave had simplest wave, simplest wave, simplest relationship of Eternity with eternity, of immortality with immortality, Singularity with Singularity, simple; it's all one, but nevertheless it's it's own its own relatedness with its own. So simplified, most simplified, most simplified level of a relationship is that relationship which we say self-referral, and that self-referral is dynamism infinite, and it is silence, infinite silence, infinite dynamism, INF. There two two two two opposite values, silence infinite and dynamism infinite, silence infinite and Dam DM. That means constantly silence infinite is becoming dynamism infinite, and dynamism infinite becoming silence infinite, silence infinite becoming dynamism infinite, dynamism infinite becoming silence infinite, and there is no becoming as such; silence is dynamism, dynamism is silence. That absolute relationship of of oneself with oneself, it is like that simplify, simplest wave, and when this process of of creation of simplest wave goes on, then complex waves waves come up. This phenomenon as exhibited in the relative arises from this reality on the absolute level of existence that the dynamism is silence and silence is dynamism, and the relationship between the two going on all the time. This relationship going on all the time exemplifies with the sine wave being created all the time, and you create a wave, and then automatically from within the wave will emerge lots of different, all kinds of waves, and from all kinds of waves, all kinds of sounds, and from all kinds of sounds, all kinds of forms. It's a different of consideration, but we are seeing here just how we are seeing here how some relationships are evolutionary, other relationships are detrimental to Evolution; something is nourishing, the other thing is non-nourishing, even negative and opposite to to to right values. So in this what we find is the dynamism, silence, Rel to themselves, dynamism related to silence, silence related to dynamism. In this we find a sequence, a sequence emerging from a straight line, sequence of waves emerging from a straight line of relationship, dynamism and silence, one straight line, one absolute relationship. The two are not two; the two are one; one are in the spirit of two, obser observ observ spirit of and unified state of. So in this the self-referral is a value which self-referral is a value which is the most fundamental impulse, most F fundamental impulse, most fundamental impulse means most fundamental, we call it primordial sound, primal [Music] sound is in its holistic manner; it's one sound, and in its Diversified states that one holistic sound Diversified itself, same way as a sine wave, one simple single sine wave; it expresses itself in multiple ways, one holistic sound, and that holistic sound is the expression of the relationship of silence and dynamism, silence. For sound must be two; for an Impulse there must be two. Who are the two here? Silence and dynamism, silence and dynamism. These are the two elements which maintain Eternal wakefulness of the unbounded Singularity. Eternal wakefulness of unbounded Singularity is maintained because that level of intelligence is made of two opposites, silence and dynamism, Eternal silence transforming itself into Eternal dynamism, and that transformation process is a continu process, is a continu process, silence, dynamism, silence, dynamism, silence, dynamism, silence is dynamism, Dynam in silence. This is on the unmanifest level, Singularity awake in its two value, Singularity fully awake in its two both values, dynamism and silence. This generates one single holistic primordial sound; it's expressed as ah ah, full mouth opens ah; it's a continuous holis one single [Music] sound; it's one single holistic sound uh defines silent because it's continous. A is the expression of one holistic continuous single sound a, and from this ah, the full mouth opens ah, full from this full opening, different sounds emerge. Phenomenon is the same: from one single sine wave, within this structure of single sine wave emerge many sine waves. Within one single expression of Eternal silence, holistic in nature, you keep on saying ah and continu and continu, and this full opening of the mouth and full closing of the mouth when a stops or from the fully closed State when the begins to be set, the full mouth opening, between this opening and closing, all the different possible of sounds are present. When the mouth is full opening ah, when the mouth is closed ah is unmanifest completely. So this a on its own representing Eternal Silence has potential dynamism inside its own structure of Singularity. When we when we study the aasha of rig, our commentary on rig, then we very clearly see how from this from this nonlocalized eternal primordial sound, holistic in nature a, and then different values of a bringing out different, different sounds. So in this automatically there is a sequence of emergence, like in this sine wave, S Wave, first will come some other wave, next be the exactly the same, and it always be the same next, and after that it will always be the same next, it always be the same next, same next. So all the inumerable waves begin to appear from the same sine wave through the same operation in creating sine waves, but there is a sequence in which they appear. There is a sequence, first this sign will be will become this this and this and this will become this and this will become this and this will become this and this will become this. So from the different values of sine waves, the entire universe will be structured, and the multiplicity will go on and go on and go on and go on, but what is happening at the basis, only S Wave is being created, only wave is being created, and from within the structure of sign in proper sequence. I'm emphasizing here the the the meaning of sequence that you are creating a sine wave, but in sequence different Wes waves come up in sequence, in sequence different waves develop, and that sequence is evolutionary in character, sequence, sequence. That same sequence if if if one follows one would see how from the sine wave, simplest wave, some little complex waves came out, and from that some more complex and some more complex and some more complex and some more complex, infinitely expanded expanding Universe emerge and continues to emerge and continues to emerge, but in a sequential way, in a sequential way, in a sequential way. And this is the process of evolution; this is the process of evolution; this is the process of evolution in which one state is helpful to the other state, this helpful to the next, this helpful to the next, this helpful to the next, this helpful to the next. So there is a sequence in which Evolution emerges; that is a sequence in which the evolution emerges; there is a sequence in which the evolution emerges. This very, very important, and if you follow this, you will have R, that from which something else emerges; it emerges because that has been nourished, and next stage has been further nourished, next has been further nourished, that which has been further nourished, further nourished. This this is the source of R, and what is this? This is the sequential, spontaneous, automatic sequential emergence of hierarchy of expressions in nature, hierarchy of expressions in nature, and this hierarchy is supported by what we say Ras, Ras, Ras, Ras. Now if supposing from this sine wave in sequence 10 waves emerge, 11th wave is Disturbed from the environment, and instead of emerging into the next wave in a spontaneous sequential manner, he gets diverted from this path of evolution, and diverted from the path of evolution, it will not go very far; it will get not nourishment in a spontaneous manner from that procedure of expansion of diversity from the mechanics of evolution; it has gone astray, going astray, it will falter and flitter and get into difficulties and get destroyed eventually. So here is a path of evolution which is a spontaneous emergence of one state from the other, spontaneous emergence from one state to the other; the previous stage will always be helpful to evolve the next; the previous will be helpful to evolve the next. So there is a hierarchy of expression; if one follows the line of expression, then that value which nourishes and expresses the next stage in evolution is called R, is called nourishment in nourishment and nourishment and nourishment goes off the way of go off the way of hierarchy of evolution, going of way of hierarchy. Evolution means if that particular wave does not give rise to the spontaneous next wave, it goes gives R to some other wave, some other w, then some Mischief has entered into this spontaneous natural process of evolution, that the life is not properly fed with nourishment; it goes off the path of evolution; it goes off the path of evolution; that means it has not followed the evolutionary nature of natural law; it has gone on the highway on on the on the pathway of the highway of evolution. So Ras is the nourishing power of a spontaneous direction of evolution of the relationship of Singularity with Singularity, The Singularity related to Singularity, just like a simple sine wave relationship, and that relationship is donated by a single line, which in one single line we can see representation of silence and representation of infinity dynamism. If you express infinite dynamism, then be these these impulses in a line, they'll be straight line again. So the relationship of immortality with immortality, of Eternity with eternity, the relationship of pure unbounded wakefulness, all-knowingness, infinite potential of organizing power of pure knowledge, which in its holistic value expressed by and how from a in a sequential manner all the different alphabets arise, and the words arise, and the sequential growth of words into the hyms and all that, the whole sequence is available in the flow of rig. The whole study is absolutely fascinating: this sequence, this sequence from syllable to syllable, syllable to syllable, how one syllable reacts with itself and becomes other syllable, and how the gap between the two syllables is the mechanics of transformation of the previous syllable into the following syllable. So the whole mechanics of transformation is taking place in the Gap, and GAP means unmanifest dynamism in Eternal silence. This is self-referral dynamism; the Gap in the wether they demonstrate the self-interacting Dynamics from where this syllable gets transformed into this syllable, this syllable gets transformed into this syllable, this syllable gets transformed into this syllable. You know the same thing happens, the same when I'm saying I will go. I have said I, inumerable number of neurons have joined together in a holistic pattern of functioning to formulate I, and when the eye is being spoken, the will is being formulated by all the billions of neurons there, they again formulate together will, and when will is coming out, then the whole billions of neurons are again alert to formulate the next syllable, all together forming next, and M says I will, and if I feel not very good in that direction, I will not go. Environmental influence makes say I will go or not of neurons, how they function, neuron. This is important: each neuron is functioning only in a very limited in a very Li range, this to this. Each neuron, each neuron, if you see each neuron what is doing is moving forward, back, back and forth and back and forth and back and forth, and this back and forth performance of each neuron and the build I of neuron from this little back and forth bre from this back and forth bre of each neuron, it formulates one single C, and the whole physiology BRS it out, will go, not go, whatever, but each neuron is only that. What is this? This is the demonstration of that fundamental process which expresses the relationship of the self with self, Singularity with Singularity, and here we Singularity and Singularity then becomes a littleit difficult to conceive the same. We say dynamism with silence, relationship of dynamism with silence, relationship of dynamism with silence, only so much, only back and forth, and in that state there's no back and forth, because this whole thing is a display of

One's own relationship with one's own self. But we are creating a logic to understand how, from Singularity, the absolute value of relationship pops up. And from that absolute relationship, innumerable relationships arise—like that, like that—and all those relationships, if they are in the evolutionary direction, the performance is in the evolutionary direction, then it will, at every stage, the relationship is nourishing, nourishing, nourishing, nourishing. If, instead of the set sequence, some non-set sequence comes along, then the path of evolution has been astrayed; you've gone away from the path of evolution. And going away from the path of evolution, you may go only thus far and no farther. Even from the very point of deviation, you begin to feel uncomfortable, and uncomfortable, and uncomfortable, and sick, and more sick, and more sick, and there is no end to it. This knowledge of R is that knowledge which prescribes modes of relationship which will keep the thread of life going in the evolutionary direction, in a natural way, in a natural way, in a natural way, in a natural way. All these different relationships with the master, with the mother, with the father, with the friend, with the enemy—how to behave with the enemy—and all those, there is a set pattern. If we are following the set pattern, then spontaneously we are on that sequential progression which is always nourishing for the next step, for the next step, for the next step, for the next step. This is behavioral rigging: that either you are on the path of spontaneous evolution or you have strayed from that. And if you have strayed from that, come back to it. And that is the teaching of sets: you are on the proper path of daily routine, seasonal routine, individual, which is society, which is the universe. All the different relationships have been set in proper patterns, and then the teaching says, “You behave with him like that; we behave with him like that; we behave with him like that.” And all the behaviors are broadly sketched out, and this is called maintaining the path of evolution. And at every step, this behavior serves as extra nourishment. This is where the authenticity of this lies. The authenticity is in the expression of the primordial sound. How, from A, it comes about; it comes about all those things which we’ll say later. How, from the whole, all the sequential flow of the Vedic chants emerge, and how it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. Now, recitation—Vedic recitation—is an exercise for the whole billions of neurons to come in that sequence and to get accustomed to behave sequentially, to hold those sequentially flowing sounds. The brain physiology is trained; this is recitation. All that we hear from the mouths of the priests—they recite the Vedic chants; they recite the Vedic chants. This is the mechanics of transformation of the holistic value into diversified values in that sequence where the process—the mechanics of change—will not deteriorate at any moment; it will continue and continue and continue and continue. This change will be structuring; this change will be giving structure to immortality. This chain—the Vedic recitation—this primordial sound in their natural flow, in their natural flow of evolution, as the verses are recited, as we hear them, like that, like that. When the priests recite, his innumerable neurons of his brain physiology become accustomed to function and promote sequentially evolving states of sound, and sequentially evolving states of sound, and more repetition, and more repetition, and more repetition. And the whole brain physiology becomes set in that evolutionary pattern of functioning, so that a time comes that you cannot go wrong; automatically, it’ll be right, it’ll be right, it’ll be right. And this will be life supported by natural law, this following this point evolutionary pattern of expression. This is through the sound; through the speech, you train your brain physiology to function always, to create any thought or action, to function always in the direction of evolution. Then whatever you do is a rasa for whatever you are going to do next, and what you are going to do next will be a rasa for what you are going to do next. So it will be rasa, and rasa, and rasa, and rasa; nourishment, and nourishment, and nourishment, and nourishment. It will change; it will change; it will express itself in different ways, in different patterns; but nevertheless, all the change will be nourishing to the further evolution. Every change will be helping the other evolution, like that. This whole system of operation—the whole system of operation means the whole pattern of thinking and behavior—becomes a means of evolution; becomes a means of evolution; becomes a means of evolution. The whole daily routine is such that spontaneously the whole brain physiology will create patterns of performance which will make every activity a means of nourishment for every further activity. So the source of rasa, the ground from which the rasas have been prescribed, the ground on which this knowledge has grown, is the ground of that self-referential consciousness, where dynamism is always interchanging itself with silence; dynamism is behaving with silence; silence behaving with dynamism. On that level, silence is behaving with itself, and dynamism behaving with silence. On that level, dynamism is behaving with itself. So self-referential performance is the eternal, is the holistic value of rasa, from where—from where—from where emerge different patterns of rasa? From where emerge different patterns of performance, different patterns of activity, different levels of behavior, different patterns of behavior, different patterns of relationship, relationship? Because behavior is all with relationship—with father, with mother, with brother, with sister, with this, and with this, and with this, and with this, and with friends, and with this, and with everyone. This relationship—this in our society, and in the global society, in the cosmic society—how one behaves with the North Pole, how one behaves with the Sun, how the Saturn or the different stars that we know from Jyotish, all those different cosmic bodies, how they behave with the individual body on Earth, how they behave on the individual society, individual nation on Earth. All these different levels of relationship, they all emerge from that absolute relationship of the self with the self. And the way the relationships evolve, and one holistic relationship becomes diversified into innumerable different relationships, they all—each relationship—can be a rasa, or can be a non-evolutionary, or non-evolution—there is nothing in between. Either you are behaving properly and evolving and enjoying and growing and developing and embracing more and more of cosmic life, and eventually you begin to live cosmic value. That means daily routines very rigidly: morning, evening, night; what to do, what not to do. A little more expanded: seasonal routines; what to do, what not to do. A little more expanded: yearly routines; what to do, what not to do. And every twelve years, or every so often, the age changes; how to behave in that age; how to behave in Satya Yuga. All these different expressions of time and space, all these different values of time and space, if they are supplementary, they are nourishing. So detailed values: what is a rasa, and what is not? What is a rasa, what is not a rasa? What is a rasa when one has a predominant system functioning? What will be rasa, what will not be rasa? When it’s P, what will be rasa, what will not be rasa? That’s—now we have been dealing with the behavioral—how to behave; how to behave. So how to think, how to behave, and how to think. You know, this whole thing—the very, very simple thesis of perfection in life is very, very simple: you communicate to yourself; you learn to behave with yourself. That means you open your attention to the unified field of natural law, which is your own transcendental consciousness. So the intellect and mind are aligned with yourself, the self, which is the unbounded pure single, single knowingness. And then whatever you think will be an expression like a wave expressing the ocean; whatever you think will be the wave of that unified field of natural law, that wave of infinite dynamism along with infinite silence. And when infinite silence and dynamism are lively in your awareness, then you are established in an absolute relationship. That absolute relationship which is always lively and it cannot be overshadowed. And when that infinite relationship is lively in your attention, in your awareness, then your everything that you perform, everything that you do will be the doing of that infinite potential of dynamism and silence. Infinite creativity is there; everything will be nourishing, and nourishing, and nourishing, and nourishing. Because spontaneously the diversity emerges in proper sequence, and spontaneously to follow that proper sequence, the technique is to align oneself with that unified state of silent and dynamism. Align yourself with that unified state of silence and dynamism. Practice morning and evening Transcendental Meditation and learn through the TM-Sidhi program how you will function with yourself. And when you have trained the brain physiology, all the neurons of the brain, you have trained to function from that level, then every move of every single brain cell will be a rasa. So how to create in our own physiology so that every thought of ours is a rasa, every action of ours is a rasa, every sight of what we see from the eyes is a rasa; what we hear from the ears is a rasa. This is the significance of the teaching of rasa—how you can train yourself through your regular routine, through your seasonal routines, as available in the texts of the Vedas. And there are six values of rasa, that will be a different topic; we’ll deal with it sometime else. And all these six values are with reference to these fundamental values, which are the values of unity, which are the values of Singularity. When we say values of Singularity, many, manyfold qualities inherent within the structure of Singularity. All these different, different values which are prescribed there, they emerge from the state of pure knowingness—that s ofish and chand—pure wakefulness which we experience as transcendental consciousness, that supreme level of silence. And this is the level of s of Rish and Chas, and this is the level of V—pure knowledge, pure knowledge, where no knowing and known are all unified—field of pure knowledge and infinite organizing power—to and Chas on the absolute level, and pure knowingness, pure knowledge, the unified field of observed and observation—s level pure knowledge; Sita level infinite organizing power of s on the level of rishat and Chas, and both are together available as one structure—pure knowledge and infinite organizing power in pure wakefulness—our own transcendental consciousness. So our own transcendental consciousness, pure wakefulness, is the ground value of all, because in itself it is absolute; nourishing to that state—that state is immortal; doesn’t fall into any shadow of mortality; no change is there—eternal non-change. This is absolute rasa, and from this absolute rasa value, different rasas come up in order to uphold every level of evolution. Every level of evolution has to be upheld so that it may give rise to the next level of evolution and keep on giving rise to newer and newer values of evolution, so that eventually we find one with the ever-expanding universe, grounded in our own eternal silence, which is the lively ground of infinite eternal dynamism. So the whole eternal dynamism of the ever-expanding universe is available to us for direct experience in our own transcendental consciousness, the field of the Veda within our own transcendental consciousness. And that Veda we enliven with this practice of Transcendental Meditation and the TM-Sidhi program, and all the advanced techniques. Our whole program is to make every performance of ours—every performance means performance of all the five senses, mind, intellect, all every level of performance—we want to be a rasa for the next level of performance, rasa. So rasa becomes a living reality of daily life when we follow the daily routine, the seasonal routines, the yearly routines, the cosmic routine. How we follow the cosmic routine: close the eyes and gain that unbounded wakefulness, which is the central essence, the essential cause of the whole universe. So in order to follow the cosmic routines, we dive within ourselves, and we practice this Sidhi program, and there we have that oneness with that level of intelligence which upholds the whole ever-expanding universe. It’s on that level where the infinite dynamism and infinite silence are absolutely correlated; in that absolute level of relationship, absolute rasa is available and communicating with that, aligning with that, our awareness generates rasa in our physiology, in our psychology. The generation, the creation of the rasa is through our attention contacting or, through practice, remaining constantly aligned with that level of intelligence which is silence and dynamism. That lamp at the door; it lights inside also; it lights outside also. So that level of intelligence is so very delicate that at no time it is out of silence; when it is completely upheld by dynamism, that is living totality of life, immortality. And by that, every aspect of performance of our personality transforms itself into rasa. And if there is something wrong, some deviation, this—then there are ways to create balance. Now this is a very important thing: what the rasas do. They maintain individuality in balance with cosmic reality, and eventually it comes to maintenance of dynamism in perfect alliance with infinite silence. Infinite silence, infinite dynamism, both have to be balanced, and this balance is called rasa in the whole passage of evolution from unmanifest to manifest, from Singularity of the individual to the diversity of the whole universe. This expansion is absolutely rewarding and bliss at every stage if silence and dynamism continue to be related at all times; silence and dynamism continue to be related at all times. So that this interchange is a constant phenomenon from individual to the whole universe, and in the terms from a to total opening, total closing. So this is the deceit of all expressions of dynamism; all expressions of dynamism means all the verses of the Veda, from full expression of totality to point expression of totality, from totality to its own point value; that means sequentially expressed structure of the Veda. So this is the s of R, and has gotten imbalance, some imbalance, some waves here and there misplaced, then to come back, and as soon as possible to come back, as soon as possible to come back. These are the prescriptions of these, what we say medical values, but prevention is better than cure; prevention is better than cure. We generate within ourselves that absolute—how the different values become helpful or they begin to challenge one another. So it’s better to generate absolute rasa in ourselves, so that no matter what we think and do, no matter in what part of the day we are, no matter in what part of the year we are—winter, summer, anything—whether some seasonal influences or daily influences of change—morning, noon, evening, sunshine, darkness, sleep—in whatever stage we are, we will be nourishing to our own existence; we will be nourishing to the existence of our environment, society, our world, and the universe; we will be living rasa, living rasa. And this is that state—that rasa—that state of no mistaken intellect. Intellect is always in tune with that value, with the togetherness value. So all the displays and plays of intellect are embedded in that eternal lively silence that there is no mistake possible. We can’t—any level of natural law—all the levels of natural law, the whole unified field of natural law will be guiding every step of operation, every step of performance in a very natural way, in a very natural way. And this is the only way to have a materialization of all the rasas in our own system, metabolizing every aspect of performance or experience that we have in terms of evolution, change it in terms of evolution, evolution, and never in the other direction. So this behavioral design—now we have seen—have their source in our own subtle state of consciousness. So when we want a taste of rasa, we close our eyes for a moment, and then we are back home to ourselves, and here we are nourished so immensely—bliss, consciousness, absolute vitality, invincibility. This is using rasa; this is practicing rasa. As a consequence of this experience of vitality, self-sufficiency within our own consciousness, every expression of our consciousness, when we open the eyes and come out to think and do and perform, all relationships will be nourishing to ourselves and nourishing to everyone with whom we behave. This is how to live life. And the human nervous system, with all the innumerable neurons in the brain physiology, one is absolutely destined to be a rasa of the world, rasa of society. Then one radiates that rasa influence, that fullness, and radiates spontaneously. It’s from here that we are inspired to create a rasa group, a group of 7,000 practitioners. 7,000 practitioners is a rasa group in the world where everyone’s awareness is fully awake in that continuum of bliss, continuum of self-sufficiency, invincibility, infinite vitality, nourishing everyone, nourishing all nations. This will be the real achievement of rasa for the world. This is rasa for the world; this is producing that harmony which will inevitably lead one to positive performances, to positive values, and take away all negativity from the world and all that. So when we are promoting rasa in the world, we are creating a world rasa, a rasa which will disallow any non-evolutionary tendency in the world. This is a world rasa. Our teaching of rasa has given us that program, that beautiful program that we partake with every morning and evening. And now, together, we will be generating a group consciousness which will serve to be a rasa for every generation to come, because we will be enlivening that level of absolute rasa where one behaves with oneself, with whatever one behaves with, one behaves as one behaves with oneself. It’s a self-referential behavior; it’s a self-referential behavior. You spontaneously behave with the universe as your own in-and-outgoing breath. So it’s a very beautiful lesson on behavioral rasa, that our program—this particular aspect of rasa—this program of Transcendental Meditation and the TM-Sidhi program and the advanced techniques—all this is research in the field of consciousness. And because consciousness is the fundamental of life, consciousness is the basic motivating power of life, it—a field of all possibilities. Because in the field of consciousness is that silence and dynamism—that lively field of immortality in human awareness, that lively field of self-sufficiency—all possibilities in human awareness; and that’s the field of—so we are going to distribute rasa to every breath on Earth—not only human breath, the breath of all the animals, the breath of all the trees and all that is there in the world and out of the world, in empty space, and in the whole world of galaxies and stars and solar systems and all, we are nourishing. So we are establishing a real, lively center of Maharishi Aur in the center for World Peace, which will be the home of rasa, the home of world rasa, the home of Universal designers. Whether a man wants it or not, but every morning when he wakes up, he wakes up in that evolutionary direction of thinking and action that he cannot go wrong, and he must nourish every relationship of his in every field of life. It’s a very beautiful lesson on behavior—behavior—that behavior is nourishing. How to behave so that behavior is nourishing; not that the behavior is depleting life, not anti-vitality, but for vitality, behavior for vitality, behavior for evolution, spontaneous evolution. It’ll be good to have this rasa—not only take this—and taking this rasa on the individual level means radiating, giving this rasa to all the living beings—living human beings, animals, and plants, and ants, and elephants, all the life on—in the universe. So we take rasa morning and evening; we become rasa for the whole world. And one group of 7,000 like this will be the feeder of vitality, the feeder of invincibility, the feeder of self-sufficiency, the feeder of all possibility to everyone in every nation. This is the rasa of Maharishi, and all glory to Gurudeva, and all glory to our tradition of Masters who have kept this knowledge available to us in this generation, and it will be available to all mankind in all future generations, so that immortality will be a living reality in everyone’s life. And this teaching of rasa will be developing rasa in each individual in society to nourish all nations and all individuals on Earth, so that everyone could enjoy heaven on Earth. And this will be the gift of this lesson on behavioral rasa. Rasa means how you behave; the code of conduct of behavior; how to behave with whom, and how to behave with whom, and how to behave with whom, or with ourselves in the morning and noon at evening, in the night, and how to behave with everyone, and with one—during winter and summer and rains and different seasons, and how to behave. So then heaven behaves on Earth, and Earth behaves in heaven. It’s a very beautiful, very beautiful survey of all possibilities for everyone. Jai Guru.
