The importance of basing education on the knowledge of consciousness, the knowledge of Natural Law

'We know that knowledge has organizing power. This has been found in the unfoldment of knowledge through all the scientific experiments and research in the field of Natural Law for so many hundreds of years. It is very fortunate that modern physics has discovered the Unified Field of all the laws of nature, and further, it has been discovered that this Unified Field is the field of consciousness.

'The total field of knowledge of consciousness is available in the Veda and Vedic literature — this is the Total Knowledge of Natural Law and its infinite organizing power. Now what has been most fortunately discovered is that the Veda and Vedic Literature is within the physiology of everyone. Total Knowledge is embodied in everyone's physiology. From this perspective everyone is the expression of Total Knowledge of Natural Law. If this is the reality of everyone's life, the reality of everyone's physiology — then the infinite organizing power of Natural Law is within everyone. It is that which governs the infinite diversity of the universe — the perfect order prevailing in the universe is the performance of Total Natural Law.

'Everyone has consciousness but education is not consciousness-based. Everyone has consciousness; everyone's body is the expression of consciousness. Everyone's behavior is the expression of consciousness, but perfect behavior is lacking because education is not consciousness-based. Maharishi Open University will offer consciousness-based education — education of total Natural Law — making it possible for everyone's consciousness to rise to a level which is the level of total intelligence of Natural Law.'

Enabling everyone to be a custodian of Natural Law

'Everyone, in reality, is the expression of total Natural Law, with the ability to do anything, to know anything. This ability is the natural birthright of everyone. In order that no one lose this birthright in the field of knowledge and action, Maharishi Open University will offer all knowledge of Natural Law to everyone. This will develop, with a very fast pace, the natural ability of action.

'There is a tremendous possibility for mankind now, in this scientific age, with all the research in the fields of physiology, physics, and chemistry. All this knowledge will now be available from the level of modern science and from the level of Vedic Science. All the treasures of Total Knowledge and infinite organizing power of Natural Law that Vedic Science offers, along with all the discoveries of modern science must be offered to everyone throughout the world.

'That is why this satellite broadcast is being made available — to impart Total Knowledge and to enable everyone to be a custodian of Natural Law. The expert engineers in the field of modern communications, and all the great professors of those universities who have been teaching Consciousness-Based Education throughout the world for 40 years, will be handling the mechanics of spreading this knowledge. Now the cumulative effect of knowledge reveals the situation that everyone's self-referral consciousness is the seat of all possibilities.'

'Everyone is already in possession of Total Knowledge in their own self-referral consciousness. Self-referral consciousness can be achieved so soon, so beautifully, without any difficulties through Transcendental Meditation. An enormous amount of scientific research shows that every good quality of life, every good ability to do anything, rises in the awareness of everyone on the basis of the knowledge of consciousness.'

'Throughout the world, research has verified that this knowledge improves the quality of life in every way. It improves the children's abilities; it improves the working people's ability; it improves the administering ability of the administrator; it improves the cultivating ability of the farmer; it improves the ability of the businessman. In every walk of life, Consciousness-Based-Education is going to create a new fortunate world for our globe.'
