The DNA is composed of four baseschemical componentswhich combine in sequence to make up the "code" of life. Of course, scientists are unaware of the importance of the gap (relationship) between these discreet components, being made of "nothing" and therefore largely ignored.]
DNA and the genetic code Maharishi Nagar, Oct. 1988 MAHARISHI: ...We have just now established that it is the gap between the two particles in the whole body, the reality of Shrotas, that make life immortal. That is because immortality is a reality not of matter, but it is a reality on its own and it is intelligence. What matter does is, it extremely localizes it. It makes it so localized that its flexibility gets lost. Because it is an eternal reality, where does it substantiate its existence, when its found that one particle has swallowed its eternity, continuum and immortality? It gets into the structure of the particle and it gets into the relationship of one particle with the other. And then it enjoys its freedom and eternal wakefulness in the middle point of the particles. So we say, it is not these four particles that are the source of intelligence, it is their relationship with one another. The beauty is that the RNA, emerging from DNA, the process is that the two particles which are together, they create a relationship between them. They expand the relation, that means the relationship area becomes lively. From that liveliness springs an impulse. Now what is happening in this case is very beautiful. We have seen that this particle and that particle, they are controlled by the middle point where neither the value of this particle nor the value of that particle, but a field of all possibilities is lively. In the middle point of the relationship of the two particles there is all possibilities lively. So what DNA does, it creates - it is difficult to say `creates` when we talk of two values, intelligence and matter, and when we see the working of the DNA, that they are together and then it opens itself. In that opening what is happening is, that field of all possibilities is lively. Where from that particular kind of RNA comes to create that particular kind of protein and all that, where from? >From the requirement which that widely awake field of all possibilities, the central point of the relationship... because it is a field of infinite correlation, omnipresent everywhere. So it knows what is happening during the eclipse time or what is happening when the earth is going round its axis and now there is night. The DNA opening feels the requirement of the universe. The requirement of the universe is compatible with the requirement of the body, because body has also survival, universe has also survival. Both have to survive in terms of mutual alignment, one is aligned with the other - that field of all possibilities, the point value. What I am emphasizing is, the middle point of the relationship of two particles or two waves - it doesn't matter what we take into account - the middle point of the relationship is a field fully awake within itself. It is a transcendental reality. It has none of these values of either this or this or this. So it is pure wakefulness, pure wakefulness is there. What is needed comes out. Now what is needed depends on an infinite number of considerations, but it is a field of all possibilities, because it is Ritam bhara pragya, a state of intelligence which knows everything and which registers only the truth. It is not deluded because it is Self-referral. Being Self-referral it knows everything. And this reality is located in the functioning in DNA. So rather than saying that the particles have a genetic code we say the relationship between the particles is the field on which the things are registered. And from this inexhaustible source of informations - it is an inexhaustible source of information not because of thousands or millions of past lives, but on the basis of its own character. It is the Self-referral intelligence, Self-referral consciousness, it is completely out of any weakness, but a potential of all possibilities, potential of all levels of silence along with the potential of all levels of activity. And the emerging of the RNA associated with the Sanskaras, that also is not wrong, but the fundamental value is that the middle point of their relationship, from where the RNA takes off, is a field of all possibilities, fully awake within itself - Self-referral consciousness. And in that Self-referral consciousness all the interactions are all Self-referral. The whole multiplicity is all Self-referral in the state of unity. So unity is eternal, multiplicity is eternal and dynamics are eternal. So in that eternal drama of the one reality, the phenomenon of DNA is enacted. The DNA enacts the drama of the Self-referral intelligence, which is an eternally going on self-interacting dynamics of pure intelligence or the Self. So it is not the particles, but it is the relationship of the particles. So when the particles separate, the middle point changes its value....
