-From my understanding of Guru Dev's teaching, is for people to turn away from materialisic things, to search for their own soul's. And, in order to do that, he said they 'ought to look within; same as Jesus' message. It's a simple message. But, in a world moving so fast, it is hard sometimes to be heard advertizing something of the soul; something of silient being. But, still Maharishi walks this path, day after day, bringing the light into the world, as all the other enlightened one's have been doing for time immemorial. It is due to the time, which we live in, that it is a necessity now, to wake up, to a higher conscousness, in order for life to survive on the planet. Because this technology we have created in the West is so powerful, for the ego, it is so important now, to align the ego's with the higher power, the light of God, pure consciousness, kingdom of heaven within, all the same thing. But, now is the time to bring the result, not just to a handful but to all who are on the path of peace.
