Vedic Education
Global Press Conference
26 January 2005, MERU, Holland
‘Vedic Education is from the depth of everything, from the unmanifest. It explores the field of the unmanifest; it takes the attention to fathom that knowledge of the unmanifest which is the source of everything.’
—Maharishi
‘Wrong things have gone in the market in the field of knowledge—all kinds of things. But it depends upon the fortune of the people, what kind of water is waiting for them to bathe in, to dive into, to dip in.’
—Maharishi
‘Those who know the power of thought teach the boys how to think from the source of thought, whereby all that they think will begin to happen. Natural Law will obey their thought.’
—Maharishi
‘Vedic is Total Knowledge of everything. Total Knowledge of everything gives a man that competence to make use of total Natural Law in his thinking, from the source of thought, from the transcendental field.’
—Maharishi
‘Those who know just marketing—“I am a marketing manager” and “I am a production manager”—all these things have their own values, but are very limited. Life is too precious to be lost in these little, little gains. Life is too precious, because it is made in the image of God with the total possibility of living practically in daily life the total divine, total divinity.’
—Maharishi
‘Silence is not being taught, either intellectually or experientially. That is why knowledge remains—I would plainly say—knowledge remains unproductive. Unproductive means that you want to have something, and you have to work hard on it. Working hard, you lose your heart and mind, and then you do not get it.’
—Maharishi
‘Education should make it very easy for the educated man to achieve anything. Otherwise, what is the use of education if you keep on struggling? Are you educated? No.’
—Maharishi
‘Education deprives the students from living total life, because it does not give them Total Knowledge. It gives fragmented knowledge. They are born with a brain physiology which can be completely open to everything, but they are not given that opportunity to be that Total Knowledge.’
—Maharishi
