Forwarded from: David Hooper <davehooper...@gmail.com> 7/18/14-Maharishi: Speech coming out from the home of all knowledge is true, pleasing, evolutionary & holistic
[Note: The following quote is of Maharishi commenting on the first four words of Manu Smṛiti 4.138, "Satyaṁ bruyāt priyaṁ brūyāt"] " 'Satyaṁ bruyāt': whatever you speak , speak truth. 'Priyaṁ brūyāt'. 'Priyaṁ': pleasing. Speak truth which is pleasing. 'Pleasing' will be that which is supportive to life. 'Supportive to life' will be that which is evolutionary to life. 'Evolutionary to life' will be that which is natural. 'Natural' will be that speech in conformity with the laws of evolution which will come out from that full value of awareness which is the home of all knowledge. If the speech does not come out from the home of all knowledge lively, then it will not enliven the evolutionary impulse of life in the listener; and if it does not enliven the evolutionary impulse of life in the listener, it will not be in accordance with the nature of the listener; and therefore it will not be pleasing. When Manu says, 'Speak truth, speak pleasing truth,' he does not ask for installing a computer to find out how many tendencies that man has and at this moment what is enlivened in his awareness and then compute a speech which will touch that fine level of his lively impulse at this time, in this place where he is listening to you. All that, Manu does not mean. He just means: have unbounded awareness which is the home of all knowledge, from where every messenger that goes will be the messenger supportive to the evolutionary impulse of life. Speech is just the messenger of one's awareness. It is just the projection of one's awareness. It speaks for one's awareness. When Manu says, 'Satyaṁ bruyāt priyaṁ brūyāt', he only means: establish your awareness in that unboundedness which is the home of all knowledge from where any representative impulse traveling out will speak for the whole knowledge; and the purpose of whole knowledge is to inspire the boundaries in terms of the whole." ~Maharishi~ ~Interlaken, Switzerland (Audiotape)-- February 20, 1974~ Jai Guru Dev To unsubscribe , send a reply with "unsubscribe" entered as the subject or message. -- David Hooper 1000 Purusha Place, Suite 219 Romney, WV 26757
