Individual awareness rising to invincibility (enlightenment) - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

http://www.TM.org Individual awareness rising to invincibility (enlightenment) - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

1. Dr. Hagelin: Thank you very much, Maharishi, for that very beautiful introduction. And there are three
questions from the press on the subject of invincibility. There's a great deal of fascination about achieving
national security and invincibility. I know, in the United States, there have been presidential debates where
neither candidate clearly has expressed any kind of new knowledge or new methodology that would protect
the nation against further terrorist attack. So it's a very topical subject. And the first question is: Maharishi
speaks often about how his programs can make any nation invincible. Invincibility is certainly a grand and
noble goal. But today, most governments would be satisfied just knowing they can minimize the likelihood
of a terrorist attack or a foreign invasion. Why does Maharishi use such an absolute and seemingly
unattainable term as "invincibility"? Can Maharishi really make a nation invincible?

2. Maharishi: Fifty years ago I started teaching Transcendental Meditation to bring the experience of the
transcendental field of reality. Now I am taking the practical influence of this transcendental field into every
aspect of the relative field of daily life.

3. Now is the time that the ultimate reality of life can be practically harnessed by the simple mind of anyone,
diving into the transcendent and coming to a level where it is self-referral, on its own, where nothing can
reach it, nothing can disturb it, nothing can shake it; nothing can shadow it.

4. There two kinds of seeing, short-sighted and long-sighted. Everyone likes to be undisturbable by others.
But some would like to be undisturbable at a certain level. And beyond that level, they give up. We are
talking of a level of intelligence which is so much on its own that it cannot be captured by anything. It is
invincible. And that is the essential nature of the Unified Field within the self-referral consciousness of
everyone.

5. Our offering is nothing new, but only reminding a person, "Look here: here you are, from where
everything is a possibility." Intellectually, and experientially we take them to a field beyond the reach of any
boundary. Education is just an instrument or a system of reminding a person about his own inner
characteristic quality.

6. All our children will enjoy being master of their own destiny.

7. Present day communication is very efficient. Remaining in one place, it takes us throughout the world in
a moment.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi started teaching Transcendental Meditation in 1957.
