THE ALL PERVADING REALITY OF ALMIGHTY GOD
By Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
"…Entire Physical Structure of the Cosmos; That All Pervading Reality, Almighty God..”
"The Knowledge of Reality, knowledge of fullness of life, knowledge of the One Reality permeating all these diversities; this knowledge is dealt with in the third chapter, that is the last chapter of the Veda. That is why it is called Vedanta, that is the 'anta' of the Veda. Anta means the end of the Veda, Life is giving that Wisdom, knowing which we gain immortality, on every level.
"About immortality on the physical level, I happened to mention something in the "Gita" about a cessation of aging process and that I narrated in the level of your experience during Meditation. When your words become finer and finer, when the mind experiences finer realms of thought during Meditation, then the metabolism is reduced. As the metabolism is reduced the mind becomes finer and finer and the metabolism becomes further reduced, the mind transcends and gets to that state of Transcendental Consciousness. Simultaneously the body, the mind, the entire functioning of the inner machinery, all metabolic rate comes to zero. When this happens the physical structure of the nervous system comes to a state where it knows no action. It knows no action and with-out action it remains lively, yet without activity".
"A very simple, very direct technique of attaining that state of life where neither the mental plane decays nor the physical plane decays; mental and physical planes come to the level of the Spiritual Plane which has Eternal life and knows no change. And, that happens through this system of Meditation which is being taught by The Spiritual Regeneration Movement".
"This is the blessing of the Vedas, this system of Meditation is the greatest blessing of the Vedas. All the success of the Karma Kanda, the fulfillment of Karma, of action, lies in attaining a state where action ceases to be a bondage, where action ceases to decay life, where action is permeated by great Eternal Peace.
How to live a temporary phase of experience and activity yet engaged in that State of Being…How to do, what to do, so we get nearness to God…we take these there different sections:
The first is on Karma,
The second is Action, Upasana Kanda,The way of Worship to God,
And then, Gnana Kanda, that is, gain that knowledge whereby we live eternal life in God Consciousness all the time.
These are the three different spheres of Life:
Physical sphere of life of action and then where we stay and act, how we sit near God and then how we come to such closeness to God that we attain Infinite Union with Him, no separateness, these three spheres…"
