"Bring the Knowledge to the Children"
Conversation of RAJA DEAN with MAHARISHI
Excerpt from 6 April 08 Global Family Chat
Raja Dean:
"I thought today that I would talk about some comments that Maharishi
made regarding the movement going forward, that I thought would be
helpful to share with everyone, as I think it is a message that is
important for everyone to hear. I had a private conversation with
Maharishi, as many of the Rajas had the opportunity to do over the
years, and I asked Maharishi what would be important to remember
going forward. And he knew what I was asking at the time. And he
said, the most important for people to remember going forward was
that practice makes perfect. And he went on to explain that simply
doing the program, simply practicing our meditation every day, was of
the utmost importance. And it was through practice that we perfect
those deeper levels of consciousness within ourself.
And Maharishi went on to explain that it's a matter of becoming
familiar with these deeper levels of consciousness through our
practice. That it's a matter of becoming at home with it, a matter
of absorbing that level and becoming that. And then all that was
necessary was practice. And he said slowly, slowly, slowly, and then
all the sudden, one becomes enlightened. And he used the analogy of
going into the cave as we often talk when we go into our meditative
practice -- we're going to the cave -- and he mentioned that as we
enter the cave we're not always aware of the features of the cave
because we haven't fully transitioned to adjust to its subtlety, to
its softness, to that quality of silence in the cave. And so just by
giving time to it, just by practicing, we give ourselves a chance to
become adjusted to the subtleties of the cave; and that there are
some finer values, there is some granularity to that silence, there
are some very subtle, very soft features to it. And as we begin to
become much more aware of these finer values, we begin to bring those
values fully into our awareness and our consciousness, and then we
begin to be at home with them. And so this is the process. And then
at some level it's complete. And once it's complete, it's done. And
so this was what Maharishi wanted everyone to remember going forward,
was that practice makes perfect."
And I asked Maharishi, was there anything else that that he had
wished for everyone to remember. And he said, remember to bring the
knowledge to the children. He said that the children, particularly
those now coming in, now that the grip of Kali Yuga has been broken,
and we now have this sort of island or oasis within Kali Yuga of Sat
Yuga that Maharishi and all of us have contributed to bringing to
reality. That this is now providing an opportunity for very advanced
souls to come in and to be born, particularly to meditative families
and to Sidhas and Governors, but also as well to others now that the
environment has changed, the consciousness has been risen, and that
all of what Maharishi has done has had such a tremendous effect, with
the pandits and everything. And so these children coming in will be
of very fine nervous systems, some that were not able to be here
earlier because of the grossness, the roughness of the environment,
the roughness of the level of consciousness of the world. And now
that that has softened, these very advanced souls now can incarnate
to receive Maharishi's knowledge. And he said all that is necessary
is that we bring the knowledge to the children. He said they will
instantly know what to do with it. They will instantly understand it
because they will be of that level so once they are given the
Transcendental Meditation technique, they will then be on the road to
their own enlightenment, which will happen very rapidly. And the
knowledge that Maharishi has provided and the legacy and the tapes
and everything that we have they will understand, they will
understand. So we just need to continue to make the knowledge
available, particularly to the young people that are coming in. And
we saw a lot of this emphasis, I think, with Maharishi with the
schools that have been developed, particularly in India, in his
emphasis on development throughout the world, just to bring this
knowledge to the children.
And I asked Maharishi, I said, well Maharishi, is it necessary that
we have teachers who are fully enlightened to offer this knowledge to
the children? And he said, no, no, no, the children will know it,
just that we provide the knowledge in its pure form, that's all that
is needed. He said now those teachers who are practicing and
perfecting the knowledge within themselves, who are perfecting their
program --and that was his first point -- they will become
enlightened, and as they do it will accelerate everything. It will
make everything go faster, but it wasn't a requirement to the
development to the children coming in. And Maharishi's legacy will
last for hundreds and hundreds of years, and many many generations
into the future, and as it unfolds it will provide the basis for Sat
Yuga for thousands of years, and the enlightenment of us, of all of
us. The meditators, the Sidhas, the Governors, the teachers, will
accelerate it and bring it forth in its fullness sooner.
And then as we spoke further, I had this feeling and this notion that
consciousness is unbounded, something Maharishi has always said, but
in a different sense. Maharishi's consciousness was unbounded, we
all felt that, we all knew that. And it knows no boundary, no
boundaries whatsoever. And in this way Maharishi is stronger now
than he ever was, and I think we all feel that in our hearts. And so
with this I ask you, remember -- practice makes perfect, bring the
knowledge to the children, enlightenment accelerates it, and
consciousness is unbounded.
Jai Guru Dev"
