Maharishi's Inaugural Address: Maharishi Open University
Excerpt

"The offer of Maharishi Open University is Total Knowledge to everyone. Total Knowledge means knowledge of all possibilities. This practically means offering the knowledge of the infinite organizing power of Natural Law to everyone.

"This University is going to open wide the door of all knowledge for everyone to enjoy the fruit of all knowledge in daily life. The fruit of all knowledge in daily life is mistake-free life, problem-free life, suffering-free life, self-sufficient life--life with the ability to know anything, to do anything spontaneously right, so that everyone enjoys mistake-free life in Enlightenment.

"All the universities of the world are giving segmented knowledge: Knowledge of physics, or chemistry, or arts, or commerce, or management, or engineering, or medicine. This segmentation of knowledge is an outdated theme of gaining knowledge. But Maharishi Open University is going to develop that supreme level of Intelligence in the individual so that he will be the lively custodian of Total Knowledge, with the ability to do anything. This knowledge is the knowledge of the Self of everyone, knowledge of the self-referral level of consciousness of everyone. The self-referral level of consciousness has now been glimpsed through the discovery of the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nature by modern physics.

"Discovery of the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nature has given us a vision of the basis of all knowledge, the field of consciousness. And the field of consciousness is completely available to us in the ancient, eternal Vedic Literature, which is the Literature about consciousness. This is all knowledge of consciousness, all knowledge of the Self of every individual, from where the individual will be able to command the whole field of action. This total field of knowledge to everyone is not being offered by any other university.

"So Maharishi Open University is going to offer Consciousness-Based Education. Everyone has consciousness, and therefore everyone should have the guidance and procedure to develop the total potential of one's consciousness. This is what this University is going to do.

"Courses given by Maharishi Open University are going to open a new dawn of possibilities in the life of everyone. I would like to say more, but I want to speak to those who are committed to gain Total Knowledge in life and aspire to be the custodians of Natural Law. I welcome them, only they must come as sincere students to get the knowledge. Everything is possible for everyone from this angle of education, through the development of one's own consciousness. This is the education of one's own intelligence, so one will be studying about one's Self. The self-referral level of one's consciousness is a field of all possibilities. So everyone who is going to be sincerely enrolling in this University will feel right from the beginning, ‘Yes, this is an opening for Total Knowledge.’"
