The 3 Fields of Life:
Celebration of the Achievements of Dr. John Hagelin
A Talk By His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
21 June 2007
In the Global Family Chat on 9 June 2007, on the occasion of celebrating the
achievements of Dr. John Hagelin, Minister of Science and Technology of the
Global Country of World Peace, Maharishi said that having heard Dr. John
Hagelin's perception of reality, it was a very great satisfaction to hear the
proposal from the President of Maharishi University of Management (MUM) to
have this day celebrated year after year into the countless future [with the
new Tower of Invincibility that will be built at MUM]. Maharishi continued:
[Comments in brackets are additions by the editors]
This day is being celebrated by the collective consciousness of so many thou-
sand students of Dr. Hagelin who have been engaged in the scientific research
on the surface of life in the gross, and internally in the depths of their own
self-referral consciousness. In this they have generated this day, the value
of which we have heard beautifully described by Dr. Hagelin.
All the field of the smriti (memory), [is] the memory of the unified field.
Within the unified field - the endless depth of absolute silence deep within
the ocean - is the silence, and this silence has a memory. This silence is
its self-referral state and the whole memory of what the self-referral is.
Complete self-referral is fully awake in two kinds of memory: memory of the
deepest level of the ocean - infinite silence - along with the memory of the
surface values of the waves of the ocean.
So waves of the ocean on the surface [come] from the ocean silence and memory.
This 'waves of memory' is the connecting link between great, endless surface
activity and great silence. Infinite activity on one level, infinitely silent
on the other level - and both connected with the memory.
And this memory is what? Memory is [made] lively by the devata. There is a
word in the vedic literature, the devata. What is there in the self-referral
state? Everyone knows, and I have repeated a thousand times - I'll just
remind you - 'Richo akshare', the 'Ak', the collapse of infinity, 'A', into
'Ka'.
And what is the big collapse? What is collapsing? Infinity into a point. So
this is what we say - memory, memory. This is Smriti, and wherever there is a
movement (collapse means movement) from one to the other, from one to the
other, that contrasts with the silence. Silence is steady. 'Move' is silence
losing its absolute nature and gaining its relative nature.
So this move of the silence, how it happens? The Rk Veda says 'yasmin deva
adhi vishwe nisheduh'. 'Richo akshare parame vyoman'. The richas are in the
collapse in the transcendental. And what is there? 'Yasmin deva adhi vishwe
nisheduh'. 'Deva adhi vishwe': [it is] the devatas that uphold the
adminis-tration of the universe; [it is] the devatas that bring about
multiplication
of the unity. These devatas reside in the transcendental, self-referral field.
So here is a whisper of vedic science to physical science. What is the whis-
per? The whisper is that there is a connected link from complete self-refer-
ral to object-referral, and this is the administration of the universe, and
this is the veda. 'Richo akshare parame vyoman, yasmin deva adhi vishwe
nisheduh'. The devatas are in the structuring dynamics of veda. What [are
the] devata there? Devata are - I give a word and that word I am mentioning,
Dr. Hagelin has taught to his students - they are able to produce the effect
of national administration rising more and more in its successful value.
Successful value of administration [means] everyone is happy, no one is in any
way difficult to each other; no one in conflict, no negativity; all health,
wealth, wisdom everywhere. This is the administration of the devata value.
In this we have three values: [1] transcendental self-referral value, [2] the
devata value, and [3] the physical transformations of devata. Dr. Hagelin has
been explaining to the students in terms of the physiology of the brain. All
the research of our Maharaja Raam-ji, who said "Physiology [3] is the expres-
sion of consciousness [1?], of intelligence [1?], and this intelligence is
awake [2]." This is active in terms of devata, in the company of intelligence.
So there is self-referral; now we call it Brahm [1]. Now we are seeing how
many levels [there are]. One level is Brahm, Brahm [1]; the other level is
Devata [2]; the third level is the physical universe [3]. So these three
levels of reality - transcendental, self-referral consciousness, the field at
the basis of the physical creation [1]; being at the basis of physical crea-
tion [3], it is that which creates sensory perception, sensory levels of real-
ity - the five senses [2]. So there is a distinction.
The distinction will also be on another level, which is intellect. Now intel-
lect has its value in five bifurcations of the one Total Reality. In the ve-
dic expression, the world of the Reality is divided into three values. [There
are] three values now - Adhy-atma [1], Adhi-deva [2], and Adhi-bhuta [3].
Adhy-atmika, pure spirituality, pure unity, self-referral totality, Brahm [1].
So Brahm is a combination of the two values, knowledge and action: science and
technology together. Knowledge and action, that is Brahm [1]. And then ano-
ther level of Brahm [is] this level of the veda, the level of devata [2]. And
devata level is the level of Ayur Veda - that being when 'A' becomes 'Ayu' di-
vided into today, tomorrow, next day.
The kala [time] - the periods come along, and when the periods come along, di-
vision of infinity comes along, and when the divisions come along, then dis-
unity comes along, physical universe [3] comes along. So from the physical
universe [3] to the non-physical, which is the cause of physical, to the de-
vata level [2], and from the devata to the unifying state of all the devatas,
that is Brahm [1].
There is a word in the vedic literature - the word is Raam. 'Raam Brahm'
[Raam is Brahm], pure spirituality, also Raam [1]. Raam is the ruler of the
three worlds; Raam is the ruler of three worlds because it is a summation. It
is a unity of millions of devatas [2]. There are millions of Devatas in the
veda [2].
On the vedic level [2] [are] the organizational laws - the system of adminis-
tration of the vedanga - and the Raam Brahm level, the Brahm level, [is] the
transcendental level [1]: transcendental to the three qualities of the veda
[2] - rishi, devata, chhandas; three values, in terms of reverberating values,
reverberation of the first one [1].
Brahm is 'nirguna nirakara Brahma', Totality, transcendental, all self-refer-
ral [1]. That means atma level, atma level [is] that self-referral, transcen-
dental [1] - and when it is on the working level [2], then it is creating
multiplicity from atma. 'A' [is the] first syllable of atma [1]. 'A' is
again the first syllable of the veda [2]. So atma [1] turns into veda [2],
and Veda [2] turns into vishwa [the universe] [3]. Vishwa is multiplicity.
So three levels of reality. These are the vedic words: adhy-atmika [1], adhi-
vaidika (devata) [2], and adhi-bhautika (physical) [3]. Adhy-atma, spiritu-
ality, Adhy-atma, spirituality, pure spirituality, pure Unity, so 'Raam Brahm
paramarath rupa' [Raam is Brahm, the ultimate goal of life] [1].
And Raam is veda [2]. Veda is Raam, the administrator of the universe [2].
The constitution of the universe [2] [is] in terms of Raam. Raam, the consti-
tution of the universe, is in terms of the veda [2].
It becomes physical in terms of the physical Raam, the Raja coming from the
Solar dynasty, the physical Raam [3].
So [there are] these three values, and Dr. Hagelin has been not mentioning the
vedic terminology in order that the students go straight from reality to real-
ity to reality. [There are these] three levels of reality, and he has created
within them the insight into the three values Raam Brahm [1], Raam veda [2],
Raam vishwa [3].
These three values are and will be contained on the level of meeting in the
central university: Maharishi Central University. Three values. Brahm is the
ruler, 'Raam Brahma paramarath rupa' [1]. Raam. The word 'Raam': 'Ra', 'Ra',
'Ra' - the reverberation of 'A', reverberation of 'A' is 'Atma' [1]. In terms
of self-referral it is 'A', self-referral flow of veda [2]. And the flow of
veda, 'A', explains from infinity [1] to point [3].
The whole range of performance of activity is in terms of devata; that is
called Devata [2]. Each word of the vedas has its meaning in all the three,
and that is one word 'Raam'.
That is why the phrase is 'Raam Brahma paramarath rupa'. And Raam, Ayodhyate
Raam, Raam, the ruler of the world, ruler of all the countries, having this
capital in Ayodhya, [is] Ayodhyate Raja Raam. So Ayodhya, the dwelling place
of Raam, has three characteristic qualities to it - Ayodhya the physical
Ayodhya [3]; Ayodhya is the Ayodhya of the devatas [2]; and Ayodhya of Brahm
[1].
Exactly the same thing in the body of everyone. 'Aham Brahmasmi", I am Brahm
[1]; I am veda, 'vedaham' [2]. 'Aham Brahm' [1], 'aham veda' [2], 'aham
vishwam' [3], I am the universe, I am the physical [3], I am the mental [2], I
am the transcendental [1], I am all that there is. I am all that there is.
Every person is the embodiment of the unified field: it's a matter of knowing
or not knowing. If one doesn't know, one doesn't enjoy; if one knows, one
enjoys.
So this is the first class in the long hundreds of centuries in the history of
university education, where Dr. Hagelin has spearheaded Total Knowledge in the
unified field. Total Knowledge in the unified field. And the expressions of
Dr. Hagelin through all these years, the Raja of England [Raja Peter Warbur-
ton] has collected, and we have connected it. So there is a phrase, a very
enjoyable phrase: 'My Lord, I am offering you what you have bestowed on me.'
'Tvadiyam vastu Govinda tubhyam eva samarpaye: 'Whatever you have offered to
me, I am offering to you.' [Thy gift, my Lord, I surrender to Thee]. These
beautiful sentiments from Dr. Hagelin today came out from the day [Dr.
Hagelin's birthday] and from expressing all these transcendental values of
knowledge on three levels - on Brahm level [1], and the devata level, and the
devata level is the veda level, veda [2]. Every word of the veda is the
devata, the devata.
All the eight values of every devata Prakriti [ego, intellect, mind, 5
senses], they are all the veda in veda form, the whole thing is like that...
So this division of Total Knowledge, this is how we got it from Guru Dev, so
fully adored by Dr. Hagelin, and spoken in the language of science. Scientific
language is the language of the science, and it is used to project the tran-
scendental, self-referral, eternally quiet value [1]. [It] is expressed by
Dr. Hagelin as joy, to his students, and the students have to do the effect of
it. They'll produce the national consciousness of America on a high level of
invincibility. A few more [students] at a high level and then [we'll have]
the total invincible national consciousness of the USA.
And they are establishing a university where all the universities of the world
will sooner or later become the branches of this university, and everyone in
our world will be enlightened. That is the will of Dr. Hagelin to the world,
and that exemplifies something that was unimaginable before. All the coun-
tries [make a] big, big fuss over the management of the government in this and
this, it's a huge thing, but no government has succeeded in having this true
nature of life lived by its people.
Here is one big leader of the world who says 'Now you are cosmic in nature and
you have to live in a cosmic house.' He has a house that is in conformity
with all the laws of nature. We have to give them [all the countries] an eco-
nomy that is endless; we have to give them a politics that is based on unified
politics...
So unity is being substantiated - the classified value of unity is being sub-
stantiated; one is many, and each of the many is made of one... That is an
infinity [1] made of points [3], and point made of infinity. These are the
two areas of vedic science: vyakaran (expansion) [toward 1], and nirukt (the
contraction part of it) [toward 3]. Vyakaran and nirukt both together consti-
tute the totality of a point, and the totality of a point is the totality of
the veda [2]. That is Jyotish. Jyotish, all-knowingness here, all-knowing-
ness, and all capability of right action.
It's a huge outburst of Total Knowledge that fortunately Dr. Hagelin has been
receiving from the Vedic Tradition of Masters. Knowingly, knowingly he
brought himself up to know what he knows. Then he saw he knows the reality
and he started to give reality to his students, like that. And his students
are rising up, with leaps and bounds higher up and higher up, and higher up.
With the joy of being in university in any class, they don't know anything
about reality. A few weeks, a few months, a few years in this university,
they are [rising] from earth to heaven. High bounds of reality, high bounds
of reality.
This is the leadership that we want to have laid out in every country, for all
the countries will have branches of this Maharishi Central University, Maha-
rishi Central University. Universities are everywhere; globally, each country
has its own universities. Now this will be the central university for all the
universities, because each university around the country has its speciality,
and this Central University will have a speciality central to all the univer-
sities. This will be a union of all the universities. Whatever all the uni-
versities are speaking in any country, every student of this will get Total
Knowledge. That will be great liberal contribution of Dr. Hagelin, genius as
a scientist for the future of the world. All bliss consciousness for the
world.
So today it is very good that everyone has joined the celebration of Dr.
Hagelin, and Prime Minister [Dr. Bevan Morris], start from today to fix up the
monument [the Tower of Invincibility, in memory of the Invincible America
Assembly and its leader, Dr. Hagelin] and fix up the monument by Guru Purni-
ma*; that will be the best day to offer to Guru Dev in eternal memory of his
blessings. All the future of mankind is made in happiness in invincibility.
All Glory to Guru Dev**. We've got this great thing to offer to Guru Dev,
'tvadiyam vastu Govinda tubhyam eva samarpaye'. We offer to Guru Dev every-
thing that we receive from him.
So, Dr. Hagelin, there is a great deal for your to do in the world, but on the
level of your balance - many hours morning and evening [practice of the Tran-
scendental Meditaiton and TM-Sidhi Program] - you will do the whole thing with
such ease and comfort, with which you have received it. Enjoy the glory of
Guru Dev and bless the world.
Jai Guru Dev
