Огромное интервью с Махариши Махеш Йоги

Избранные цитаты.





KING:... We know that your good friends George Harrison and John Lennon are gone.
What do you believe happens upon death?

MAHARISHI: Death is just a -- it gives a new start for a new journey. In the
process of evolution, the body lasts for some time and then will take other
body and take other body and take other body until the final redemption from
diversity is transcended.

The totality is found. This is the potential of life, cosmic potential of
life, immortality in its field of counting it in terms of time. Immortality.

KING: Do we know what stage we're in?

MAHARISHI: Absolutely. From the Vedic astrology point of view. Vedic
astrology -- the Jyotishis calculate the whole of life from the past, and
they calculate the whole of life in future. This is the field of Yagya. And
when they find some wrong, negative influence from sun, moon, star or
wherever, they make some Yagya. Yagya is a name for a Vedic performance
which can avert the danger.

The Vedic way of life rests on "avert the danger that has not come."
Prevention. It uses the knowledge to prevent problems from coming on. The
Yagya system is so powerful that those who get the Yagya done by the Vedic
Pandits, they find the obstacles don't have to be faced. Sicknesses don't
have to be faced. Wrong things don't have to be faced.

One can be the master of one's own destiny if one follows the Vedic way of
life, which is life according to natural law, which can prevent disorders.

KING: What about, Maharishi, those who are the victims of evil who cannot
determine their own life? They're in a building on September 11 and they're
gone. They couldn't make any determination. TM didn't help them.

MAHARISHI: Everyone has to go sometime or the other. And the basic principle
about going or surviving is that no one -- now listen to me -- no one is
responsible for giving any difficulty or any pleasure to anyone.

Problems or successes, they all are the results of our own actions. Karma.
The philosophy of action is that no one else is the giver of peace or
happiness. One's own karma, one's own actions are responsible to come to
bring either happiness or success or whatever.

How do you deal personally with sadness? George Harrison just died. I know
he was a friend of yours. How do you deal when someone you love or like is
gone?

MAHARISHI: It's human nature to like those whom you like, and when they go
it's natural to be sad about them. But it is inevitable. It's inevitable.

When I found transcendental meditation has done good for so many, so many,
then now I'm thinking for the last two, three years -- I'm thinking of
nations as a whole. Want to make the destiny of every nation to be free from
problems, to be free from suffering, to be free from sin. I'm establishing a
government in the world which will disallow the sprouting of negativity in
any country, in any country. Governments are a failure today. Absolutely
every government is a failure because problems exist everywhere and every
government is sovereign.

The word "sovereign" is a misnomer. Their sovereignty lies in not being able
to give a problem-free administration to the people. I'm establishing a
problem-free administration on the basis of the constitution of the
universe.

The constitution of the universe is total natural law. Natural law, we say
from the field of science. Will of God, we say from the field of religion.
It's the same thing.

Natural law administers the infinite diversity of the universe. And I'm
going to establish the government on the basis of this cosmic constitution
of the universe. Cosmic constitution is a stable constitution.

Manmade constitution requires change every four years, five years. Election
of the people. The whole thing is a fraudulent thing. Administration is a
matter of expert intelligence.

...а вообще советую почитать, интересно ;)

Вообще-то понятно почему Махариши пользовался таким успехом: у него хорошо подвешен язык и он может заговорить кого-угодно.
Подобный дар я видел только у Михаила Сергеевича Горбачева.

Помните, кстати, Ая, что Секси Сэди Джона посвящена именно Махариши.
Конечно же очень интересно, что Вы вывели эту тему - не воспринимайте мои высказывания, как критику.

Многое не понял, но Ае отдельное спасибо.
Sexy Sadie упоминаеться в Sexy Sadie, Simple Shady, Devil Woman, а сам Махариши Махеш Йоги в Mindfield.

Дорогой Феликс!
Теперь я многое не понял.
Майндфильд - это откуда. Девил Вуман - это что Юрайа Хип или что другое. Симпл Шейди - совсем не знаю из какой оперы. Просветите народ.

RINGO STARR
Devil Woman
(Poncia/Starkey)

Ev'rytime i see you walkin' down the street,
i say, you're the kind of woman i just gotta meet.
you look so good and you look so fine
and one of these days i'm gonna make you mine.

Your eyes are green and your legs are long,
and if i'm gonna get you, well, i gotta be strong.
but you're like the devil with horns in your head,
the only way i'll get you is to get you in bed.

Devil woman, you're like a stranger to me.
devil woman, this ain't the way it should be.

Ev'rytime i see you in the neighbourhood,
i say, you're the kind of woman that makes me feel good.
i wanna beat you up then i wanna be kind,
and one of these days i'm gonna make you mine.

Sexy sadie, you look like the devil to me.
devil woman, that's not the way it should be.

Yeah!

Devil woman, you're like a stranger to me.
devil woman, this ain't the way it should be.

Early in the mornin' when the sun is hot,
all i do is think about the things you got.
but you're like the devil with horns in your head,
the only way i'll get you is to get you in bed.

Devil woman, you're like an angel to me.
devil woman, this ain't the way it should be.

Yeah.

Ev'rytime i see you walkin' down the street,
i say, you're the kind of woman i just gotta meet.
but you're like the devil with horns in your head,
the only way i'll get you is to get you in bed.

But you're like the devil with horns in your head,
the only way i'll get you is to get you in bed.

You look like the devil with horns in your head,
the only way i'll get you is to get you in bed.
i said, you look like the devil.

Simply Shady (Harrison)
-----------------------------------

Somebody brought the juicer
I thought I'd take a sip
Came off the rails so crazy
My senses took a dip
Before the bottle hit the floor
And I'd had time to think
I was blinded by desire
The elephant turned pink

The rest is simply shady
It's all been done before
But it doesn't make life simple
That's for sure
You may think about a lady
Cause yourself a minor war
And your life won't be so easy anymore

No sooner had I sown it
When I began to reap
I was torn from shallow water
And plunged into the deep
And as I started drowning
I clung onto a straw
That somehow kept me floating
While my madness craved for more

The rest is simply shady
It's all been done and more
But it doesn't make life easy
That's for sure

A pebble in the ocean
Must cause some kind of stir
And witnessed by the silence
Will reach from here to there
The action that I've started
Sometime I'll have to face
My influence in motion
Rebounding back through space

The rest is simply shady
It's all been done before
But it doesn't make life simple
That's for sure
You may think of Sexy Sadie
Let her in through your front door
And your life won't be so easy anymore

WHAT'S RIGHT, WHO'S WRONG, EV'RYBODY TAKES SIDES,
MY GOD, YOUR GOD, GOD IT'S SUCH A FINE LINE.
E MAIL, JUMP BAIL, MAN BECOMES A FEMALE,
WAR WET, DRAGNET, TAKE ANOTHER PERCOCET,
SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN
THERE'S A WORLD YOU'VE NEVER SEEN.
PERHAPS IT'S JUST A DREAM
BUT IT'S SO REAL TO ME.

LIVIN' IN A MINDFIELD, WE'RE WALKING ON THIN ICE,
LIVIN' IN A MINDFIELD, THERE'S NO TIME TO THINK TWICE.
ONLY WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER,
LET'S ALL GET WELL TOGETHER.

ROCK STARS, POP STARS, LIVING IN AN ANT FARM,
SMOOTH TALKIN', COOL WALKIN', DROWNIN' IN YOUR OWN CHARM.
MYSTIC MEDICINE, MAHARASHI LET US IN
WAY OUT, WEIGH IN, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?
SOMEWHERE IN MY DREAM
THERE'S A TWILIGHT IN BETWEEN.
A PLACE I'VE BEEN BUT NEVER SEEN
AND IT'S SO REAL TO ME.

LIVIN' IN A MINDFIELD, WE'RE WALKING ON THIN ICE,
LIVIN' IN A MINDFIELD, THERE'S NO TIME TO THINK TWICE.
ONLY WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER,
LET'S ALL GET WELL TOGETHER.

EV'RYTHING YOU DO OR SAY
COMES WITH A PRICE THAT YOU MUST PAY,
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YESTERDAY.

GOOD JUNK, BAD FUNK, I CAN SEE THROUGH YOU,
PEACE, LOVE, EV'RYONE BE YOUR OWN GURU.

HA! HA! HA!

MINDFIELD, I'M WALKING ON THIN ICE,
LIVIN' IN A MINDFIELD, THERE'S NO TIME TO THINK TWICE.
MINDFIELD, WE'RE WALKING ON THIN ICE,
LIVIN' IN A MINDFIELD, THERE'S NO TIME TO THINK TWICE.
