MAHARISHI: Just as in any government there is a head of state, there is a prime minister, there are assemblies - hierarchy.
Wherever there is organization, wherever there is action, there is hierarchical organization. Like that we can understand in terms of different devatas. All the different devatas - it will be easier to partition the range of devatas in two values: silence and dynamism. Silence is upheld by Shiva and dynamism is upheld by Vishnu. And between the two Ganapati holds the rains of any coordination wherever, so that there is no lack of coordination. It is very beautiful. There is nothing for us. God in terms of anything. We can talk about God, we can define about God in terms of anything. The same way in terms of anything we can talk about devatas, of Shiva and Vishnu. There are Ganas of Shiva. Gana means like the sparks of intelligence. There is one ocean of intelligence and then the sprouting, single waves of intelligence. Waves of intelligence, they distinguish themself from one another. So there is a field of many in this way. We can talk in terms of many, many devatas...
