As a school or category of practice in mysticism here In the West,
Perfectionism spiritually has to do with refining the subtle bodies of the
human body-mind system. Similar to yogas illuminating, activating or clarifying
the so called chakra centers and the rise of kundalini as some Eastern
practices in methodology know. -Buck
"I am using the word perfection, knowing that the word perfection is very much
doubted on scientific ground. Perfection, scientists are afraid of talking
about. But I am using the word perfection on the basis of the simple
practicality of perfection in the life of everyone. I am emphasizing and making
clear what I mean by perfection.
I'll explain this perfection possibility open to everyone by an example of the
sap in the tree. The gardener waters the root, it supplies nourishment to the
root, it supplies nourishment to the sap, it enlivens the sap, and the lively
sap makes every expression of it brighter. Green becomes brighter, red flowers
become brighter, everything becomes better and better if the sap is lively.
Like the sap in the tree, Atma or consciousness has a place in the life of
anyone. The physiology is made of reverberating structures of consciousness.
Professor Nader's research in physiology has already explained that it is now
possible for the total value of life to be enlivened within each individual
through the practice of Transcendental Meditation and the Vedic sound
reverberations, the Vedic texts recited. You can enliven the whole body, the
whole physiology.
There is huge philosophical evidence from the Vedic Literature, and practical
evidence from the research into the physiology by all disciplines of modern
science. It's a very great upsurge of Total Knowledge on the level of
principle, and also on the level of the practicality of those principles.
In modern science, in order to materialize a theory, a scientist is needed.
Listen to this carefully. In modern science, for a theory to be materialized, a
scientist needs to put the theory to practice. In the Vedic world, in Vedic
knowledge, in Vedic science, the scientist himself is the embodiment of the
theory, is the embodiment of the principles, because it is self-referral in its
own quality.
From within itself it is Total Knowledge, it is total power, it is total
activity. This is Vedic speech, Vedic reverberations, Vedic sound. Vedic sounds
themselves operate. And this has given a completely new approach to perfect
health. Perfect health means perfection in every field for everyone on earth.
This perfection is being declared today at this time of inaugurating the
Fourth Year of Global Administration. It's very fortunate for the whole world,
for all times in the future, that we have established a program. And
fortunately with the help of their computer science, the communication level of
perfection of today's life will take it to every home, to every individual.
Everyone is invited. I am emphasizing today a new voice after these 50 years
of teaching Transcendental Meditation in the world, a voice which can bring
perfection to every individual.”
From Maharishi's inaugural address on January 12, 2000.
