Total Knowledge
Global Press Conference
9 May 2007, MERU, Holland
‘Unified Field Based Education is the education where the knowledge is unified based. The knowledge unifies all diversities. What unifies all diversity has a name: Vedic Knowledge. “Veda” means Total Knowledge.’
—Maharishi
‘Total Knowledge is just not the words, but something that puts the words in relation to each other, something that is not a word, something that transcends the word.’
—Maharishi
‘When we say “Total Knowledge”, this word “Total Knowledge” means silence and action, and action and silence together.’
—Maharishi
‘So ultimately a phrase comes out in the field of knowledge: “Totality is all that there is”—“Sarvam Khalvidam Brahm”. All this is Brahm, Brahm, Brahm.’
—Maharishi
‘Transcendental Meditation makes the awareness come out of all sensory perceptions, go to the mental perception, go to the intellectual perception, go to the self-referral transcendental Being, and that is called the Unified Field. That is called Totality.’
—Maharishi
‘This experience of Totality in the Central University will not deprive the visible world from being appreciated in its entirety. The visible world being appreciated in its entirety makes a man promote that which is very necessary, which we call “administration according to Natural Law”.’
—Maharishi
‘Today's administration and the administration of the past times have been on the basis of man-made concepts. Man-made concepts are concepts in limitation of space and time. And what governs life in space and time? Not the man-made concepts, but the reality of the unmanifest field—fluctuations of the unmanifest field.’
—Maharishi
‘In the light of this Total Education, all education so far has been completely useless and a fraud. It was misguiding the people. I am very frank about it. Education so far has been the opposite of what it should be.’
—Maharishi
‘ “Nirguna Nirakara” means completely beyond everything, and completely beyond everything is that concrete experience of reality, Totality. This is the field of Total Knowledge.’
—Maharishi
‘If anyone is caught up in the night, he has only to know that it is coming to an end. Night is not a lasting thing. Ignorance is not a lasting thing, and this is the time when ignorance is being replaced by complete Total Knowledge.’
—Maharishi
‘The whole future of the world, as far as education is concerned, is so bright and so full of hope—absolutely.’
—Maharishi
