🌍✨What if a nation's greatest defense isn't military power—but human consciousness?🌏✨
Dr Hagelin: “Maharishi has said that government scientists of every country should have the knowledge of how to design invincibility for their country. What would this design look like? Specifically, what would be required? What changes in public policy are necessary for a government to make its nation invincible?”
Maharishi: “It will be a waste of time to think of changing all that is there in the government. The government is not in a position to change. The change has to be on the level of the collective consciousness of the nation. That will be the initial motivation of the government to do what it can do.
“Government cannot do anything other than what it is doing. Government cannot do anything other than what it is doing already. So, if we want the government to change, we have to change the feeder of the government. We have to change the collective consciousness of the nation.
“For that we have a formula: we just create a group of Yogic Flyers. Just create a group of Yogic Flyers—a hundred, two hundred Yogic Flyers for small countries and a thousand, two thousand for big countries—that is completely enough. Our proposal is to open schools and colleges. The younger generation will bless the collective consciousness of the country, and that will change, modify, improve, and bring fulfilment to the parental role of every government. That's it.
“Our programme is very well basically designed in a very flawless manner on a supreme level of logic and faith and reliability and invincibility. It is a very good time for the world to just enjoy. A few people in the country—hundred, two hundred, five thousand, two thousand people—getting this teaching in their life for their own enlightenment, and the result will be: they will be most patriotic to their country; they'll be most serviceful to the people, to others.
“The torch has to be on in order to give light to others. A group of enlightened people radiate that enlightenment and improve the quality of collective consciousness around them. That is what the policy is.”—Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, 8 February 2006, Press Conference
