Maharishi has said, and it is self-evident, that life consists of 100% inner life and 100% outer life. So when I hear that the world is to end catastrophically according to a past statement or tradition, I have to ask myself, which world? What were the believers of this belief meaning when they said and believed that?
So much of what is in our spiritual and religious traditions is nowadays frequently intepreted in terms of material life, because seeing life in predominantly physical terms is a hallmark of Kali Yuga. Is that what the original seer meant? Hard to say. A statement that the world is to end catastrophically before Sat Yuga could very well be interpreted as the natural process we go through on our journey to rediscover our true Selves; the small ego dies, possibly catastrophically according to the experiencer.
