Doc, thanks for wonderful topic. I googled on Maharishi ritam and this transcript was the first listing. Great detailed analysis: http://spirituelle-erfahrungen.blog.de/2009/12/09/mmy-ritam-bhara-pragya-7542180/

The context was world peace. This is a post I made, >over there, earlier this evening: "Kind of funny the way Maharishi used to talk A LOT about patience, and his analogy of selling pencils to earn money, one pencil at a time. Burned right through my youthful enthusiasm, and later, my ego, just long enough to make me realize, that he was expressing a time frame that operates on its own, leading surely to success. Helped me get past false expectations for myself, and the world. Allowed me to stay focused on the goal, which I thought was external for the longest time, and it *almost* is: Ritam Bhara Pragya. When I first heard about "Ritam", in the 1980's, it was in the context of immediate benefit, expression of the sidhis. Now I find out, backwards, that it is the state of mind, where the rhythm of the mind matches the rhythm of the universe. I found out backwards, because I was thinking about how to finish the sentence in paragraph two, and 'Ritam Bhara Pragya' came in, so I googled it, and found out it was exactly what I was trying to express. So, that's how stuff happens now. Further unfolding of the TMSP - full access to mind, matter, and everything in between. An expansion of living Brahman, where the difference between inside and out, practically disappears, this is another union, between an enlightened mind (intellect and heart in Yoga), and manifestation, or not, in the manifest world, the physical world. The deepest and most powerful impulses of creation make themselves known, not in any dramatic fashion, but in a way that is natural, and approachable, making as much sense as those more obvious laws in what I will call the most obvious world. Finally, such experience is incredibly useful! An entire landscape, conforming to Maharishi's expression, "do less, and accomplish more", opens up. A very different, yet deeply satisfying way of functioning, where any point in time or space, ranging from nanoseconds, to cosmic eons, is available. No gaps. Certainly, for myself, I am rarely greatly concerned about my well being. However, every human desires world peace, and I will always wait, and work, for that."
