A Message From Maharishi Mahesh Yogi 

"I am using the word perfection, knowing that the word perfection is very much doubted on scientific grounds. Perfection, scientists are afraid of talking about. But I am using the word perfection on the basis of the simple practicality of perfection in the life of everyone. I am emphasizing and making clear what I mean by perfection.

"I’ll explain this perfection possibility open to everyone by an example of the sap in the tree. The gardener waters the root, it supplies nourishment to the sap, it enlivens the sap, and the lively sap makes every expression of it brighter. Green becomes brighter, red flowers become brighter, everything becomes better and better if the sap is lively.

"Like the sap in the tree, Atma or consciousness has a place in the life of anyone. The physiology is made of reverberating structures of consciousness. Professor Nader’s research in physiology has already explained that it is now possible for the total value of life to be enlivened within each individual through the practice of Transcendental Meditation and the Vedic sound reverberations, the Vedic texts recited. You can enliven the whole body, the whole physiology.

"There is huge philosophical evidence from the Vedic Literature, and practical evidence from the research into the physiology by all disciplines of modern science. It’s a very great upsurge of Total Knowledge on the level of principle, and also on the level of the practicality of those principles.

"In modern science, in order to materialize a theory, a scientist is needed. Listen to this carefully. In modern science, for a theory to be materialized, a scientist needs to put the theory to practice. In the Vedic world, in Vedic knowledge, in Vedic science, the scientist himself is the embodiment of the theory, is the embodiment of the principles, because it is self-referral in its own quality.

"From within itself it is Total Knowledge, it is total power, it is total activity. This is Vedic speech, Vedic reverberations, Vedic sounds. Vedic sounds themselves operate. And this has given a completely new approach to perfect health. Perfect health means perfection in every field for everyone on earth.

"This perfection is being declared today at this time of inaugurating the Fourth Year of Global Administration. It’s very fortunate for the whole world,

for all times in the future, that we have established a program. And fortunately with the help of this computer science, the communication level of perfection of today’s life will take it to every home, to every individual.

"Everyone is invited. I am emphasizing today a new voice after these 50 years of teaching Transcendental Meditation in the world, a voice which can bring perfection to every individual."
