[Lyric] The Origin Of Thought ft. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (Aristotle In Bottle)

-Maharishi Mahesh Yogi:
It is very amazing
That even though all of us
We have been thinking right from the beginning of our life
But rarely we have thought
“Where was the thought before we thought it?”
The Origin of Thought
Nobody bothers about the origin of thought
How the thought starts
And how it develops to come
To be appreciated as a thought
On the conscious thinking level
A thought starts from the depth of consciousness
As an air bubble from the bottom of the lake
As the air bubble starts, it’s very fine
And as it comes up, it becomes bigger and bigger and bigger
Coming up on the surface it explodes
And there it is appreciated as a bubble
Like that, a thought starts from the deepest level of consciousness
Modern psychology calls it “Subconscious”
And as it comes up it becomes bigger and bigger and bigger
Coming up on the conscious thinking level
It is appreciated as a thought
In Transcendental Meditation
We experience the thought on the ordinary thinking level
On the surface level of the mind, on the conscious thinking level
And appreciate its finer states
Then the conscious mind reaches the source of thought
And thereby, The conscious mind expands
By the time the conscious mind has experienced the source of thought
Full depth of subconscious has been explored
Nothing remains subconscious
The whole subconscious is incorporated in the conscious
And this is called “The expansion of the conscious mind”
This is the way to use one’s full mental potential
Modern psychology says
“Man has been using only a small portion of the mind”
Transcendental Meditation is the way to enable every man
To educate every man
To make use of his full mental potential
Imagine the development in all fields of civilization
When every man is using his full potential
The man will not get a stress and strain in his aspirations
To accomplish more and more
And advancement will be glorious on all fields
That is a society we want to create
-Host :
About your vision
Most of these stories come to hinting
If not saying clearly
That you have divine powers
Have you?
-Maharishi :
Everyone has divine powers
Physics have found out
That the vacuum state
Which is the state of least excitation
Is present in all the excited states
So there is some deep silence
Which is present in all activity of the universe
And that silence is the source of all activity
It is the home of all the laws of nature
It is the home of all knowledge
So some people call that silence
That lively silence
“The basis of our lives”
Some people called it “Divine”
So that divine
The state of least excitation
Present in all the excited states
So divine power is present everywhere
So everyone should feel
He is divine and he has divine power
-Host:
Even if he didn’t reach this state of silence?
-Maharishi :
No that should not be anyone in the world
Who should not be able to reach that silent level of consciousness
Because Transcendental Meditation
Is an effortless natural procedure
Which silences the activity of the mind
In a very very natural way
