‘When they heard that I say, “Life is bliss”, they said, “Yes, yes, yes”. So many people, “Life is bliss, life is bliss.” When one man finds it is useful, it is human nature to spread it.’
—Maharishi
‘The Being of two million people is just Being—one Being, one self-referral state of consciousness. And even a few people starting it, and it radiates all around, all around, all around.’
—Maharishi
‘One little stick on a quiet lake will create ripple all over the lake—like that, one person here and one person there. So the formula was found many years ago: the square root of one per cent of the population will create coherence.’
—Maharishi
‘The transcendental Self of one person is the transcendental Self of every person, because it transcends diversity.’
—Maharishi
‘The Self of everyone, the transcendental Self of everyone, the Being of everyone, is lamp at the door. It lights light inside; it lights light outside.’
—Maharishi
‘In itself, there is no inside, there is no outside, but light is there—the same light inside, the same light outside—the same light, the same Being. You close the eyes and let your awareness get to Transcendental Consciousness, self-referral consciousness—this is inside. Open the eyes, and the eyes open to outside diversity. Inside unity, outside diversity.’
—Maharishi
‘The self of everyone, the awareness of everyone, the consciousness of everyone, the intelligence of everyone, has a state in itself—self-referral Being, self-referral Transcendental Consciousness.’
—Maharishi
‘From where could diversity and unity be balanced? From the silence. Deep within everyone is silence—pure Self, self-referral silence.’
—Maharishi
‘It is silence that administers. Silence is unmanifest. Unmanifest is nothingness. Nothingness is zero. The whole infinitely multiplied universe has its basis and is governed by zero.’
—Maharishi
‘Eternal silence and deep within it dynamism—silence and dynamism both together have a name in Vedic terms, Brahm.’
—Maharishi
‘The voice of the Veda is, “I am Brahm—Aham Brahmasmi. I am Totality. I am silence and dynamism.” ’
—Maharishi
‘ “Totality” means silence and dynamism. Silence and dynamism both together is a big zero. Because they are opposite in quality, they neutralize each other.’
—Maharishi
‘Aham Brahmasmi—I am Totality. And not only I am Totality, not only Aham Brahmasmi, Tat Tvam Asi—you are also That. I am Totality. You are Totality. Sarvam Khalv Idam Brahm—all this is Totality.’
—Maharishi
‘This programme of invincibility—a few hundred people practicing Yogic Flying in every country—is going to create invincibility. It is going to give fearlessness to the ever-afraid sovereignty of every country.’
—Maharishi
‘Now life, practically, is going to enjoy bliss which is the Will of God, the Constitution of the Universe, on the level of science and technology, on the practical level of daily living in all parts of the world.’
—Maharishi
