Quote on Mother Divine by Maharishi from Courchevel, France

एकै वाहं जगत्यत्र िद्वतीया का ममापरा । पश्यैता दुष्ट मय्येव िवशन्त्यो मिद्वभूतयः ।।

"I am only one here in the world. Who is the second besides me? 
See, O Dushta, these my manifestations entering into Me!"
---Devî Mâhâtmyam, X-5

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"Her home is small, in small, minute particles of existence; her home is big, the whole, when we count the totality of the universe. The entire universe is her big home. 'Big' we say from our standards of big and small; for her, big is her unmanifest, infinite, unbounded, eternal, immortal reality of Being, which fortunately is there present in the deepest state of every expression, small or big, in the whole universe.

For herself, everything is even; for a mother, all the children are alike; for Mother Divine, the existence of straw is her home. Straw is as dear to Mother Divine as the elephant, as man, as Shiva. All the enormously enchanting expressions and even the tiniest, inert particle, they are all her own homes where She dwells in her wholeness.

She dwells in her wholeness, and does not mind the small expressions of her self being expressed in those small dwellings -- in the tiny, little molecule; in the tiny, little atom; in the tiny, little finer particle.

She has structured her home and resides deep within it, and does not mind how much of her enormous, eternal, infinite value is expressed by that tiny particle. She doesn't mind. Huge galaxies, enormous speed, almost unbounded variety of expressions, that is her bigger glory from our relative standards of small and big. She does not mind. The galaxies express her glory, the entire clusters of galaxies are her home. And there, she expresses.

And like in a home, one rests and one rises up to act. Home symbolizes both values of rest and values of activity, preparedness for activity. From home one comes out to be very, very active. There is a place of rest; there is a place for preparation for activity; there is a place for great activity. But all these are, every material expression is the expression of Mother Divine, [of] her home [where] she resides. Matter is just the home of intelligence -- deep within matter intelligence resides, and residing, evolves it, makes her home bigger. The process of evolution is Mother Divine or Creative Intelligence making her home bigger."

Maharishi talks on Soma, mid 1970s

Soma, It’s Effects and How It’s Produced At MIU with Keith Wallace in the mid 70s, he played for his biology students every tape he had of Maharishi talking about Soma - the finest product of digestion.   Here is a transcript of one of those tapes: Maharishi : It’s very easy to understand about soma, hmm? A sickly nervous system does not produce that material from what we eat or drink, which will maintain the body for long time. An ineffective nervous system, inefficient, sick nervous system, the digestive ability is very much less, and therefore, whatever the system digests, is not good enough to make the body strong. When the health is more normal, then the digestive system produces more agreeable product from what we eat. If the nervous system is very normal, very, very normal, then the digestive system will be able to digest the whole value of what we eat. Whole food will be completely digested. That means, the finest of the relative particle will be so modified ...

The twelve Jyotirlingas of India ­­– Seats of Silence for the World

Image
A Jyotirlingam ( Sanskrit : ज्योतिरिनगम  ) is a focal point, or seat, of silence, and represents the great deity Shiva , the embodiment of silence. Jyoti means 'radiance' and lingam the 'mark or sign' of Shiva, or a symbol of the pineal gland ; Jyotir Lingam thus means the The Radiant sign of The Almighty . There are twelve traditional Jyotirlinga shrines in India . It is believed that Lord Shiva first manifested himself as a Jyotirlinga on the night of the Ardra Nakshatra . It is assumed that a person who reaches a higher level of spiritual attainment can see these lingas as columns of fire piercing through the earth. Vedic Literature on Jyotirlingas According to Śiva Mahāpurāṇa , once Brahma and Vishnu had an argument over their relative supremacy. To test them, Shiva pierced the three worlds as a huge endless pillar of light, the jyotirlinga . Vishnu and Brahma split their ways to downwards and upwards respectively to find the end of the light in eithe...

Victory according to Guru Dev (Swami Brahmananda Saraswati)

Image
Unconfirmed quote of Guru Dev September 1945 It is said that in September 1945, when the Second World War was over, newspaper reporters wanted to know the reaction of Shankaracharya Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath (Guru Dev). Allegedly he gave them the following statement, parts of which match other published quotations of Guru Dev... “Real victory is that, after which there can never be a reverse. Nobody can call himself a victor forever merely by crushing an external foe, because such foes can spring up again. A real victory is achieved by bringing under control the internal foes. A check over the internal enemies is therefore the only way of conquering the external enemies forever, because we should bear in mind that it is our own internal enemies which create the external enemies. These inner enemies are ambition, anger, greed, false attachment, vanity and jealousy. It is this hexagon sitting inside us which makes a cat's paw (dup...
