"Maharishi also recounted how, during the Puja performed by the Vedic 
Pandits, he had realized the true meaning of a saying that he had heard 
long ago from a saint in India: 'Dashamas Tvam Asi—Thou art the Tenth'. 
Maharishi explained that 'the Tenth' refers to Purusha—the Totality of 
Natural Law which encompasses simultaneously all the eight aspects of 
the manifest universe (known in Veda as the eight Prakritis), together 
with the unmanifest field of Transcendental Consciousness (the ninth or 
Para Prakriti). Marvelling at how he had recalled this saying all his 
life, only for its true meaning to be revealed on this beautiful 
occasion, Maharishi commented: 'This is Vedic civilization. Some word 
will click sometime and it will give the Totality. Just as today, this 
Dashamas Twam Asi, Thou art The Tenth. I was talking of Purusha and all 
that, but today it clicked.'

Maharishi brings to light the most delicate level of the Constitution 
of the Universe on the third day of the global celebration of Raam Nomi

The third and concluding day of the global celebration of Raam Nomi—the 
birth of Lord Raam, and the dawn of Raam Raj—was an historic occasion, 
which will be remembered throughout time as the day of Maharishi's 
revelation of the most delicate level of the Constitution of the 
Universe, as brought to light by the performance of the Vedic Pandits. 

Following Puja (a Vedic ceremony of thanksgiving) to Guru Dev, 
Maharishi's Master, and the Invocation of Raam, Maharishi said that in 
their three days of performance, the Vedic Pandits were 'celebrating 
the dawn of Raam Raj in our world. In adoring the birth of Raam, they 
have adored the birth of the Constitution of the Universe from Raam, 
from Brahm: Raam, the ruler of the Universe; Brahm, the ruler of the 
Universe.' 

Maharishi gave particular significance to the first word that the 
Pandits said in describing Raam—Komalangam—meaning 'delicate body, 
delicate physiology'. Maharishi identified the supreme level of 
Komalangam in that most delicate physiology of the Constitution of the 
Universe—the Veda. 

Maharishi explained that Veda is expressed in the orderly sequence of 
Shabda (sounds) and Sandhi (gaps). Komalangam—the supremely delicate 
quality of Veda—was worshipped by the Pandits on two distinct levels: 
one level, Shabda Brahm, represented by the continuous sound of the 
counch used in the ancient Vedic ceremony; and the other level, Sandhi 
Brahm, expressed by the intermittent sound of the bell. 

Maharishi concluded: 'The Constitution of the Universe, the entire 
Brahm, in its total personality, is a blending of infinite flow and 
intermittence in order that the flow could be felt. Otherwise, if it is 
always a flow—like a counch—there is nothing other than sound, Shabda 
Brahm. But it must be made intermittent, so that one sees the birth of 
it, the growth of it, the birth of it, the growth of it. And that 
becomes the ruler of the world—the delicacy of birth and growth, the 
most delicate level of existence, which is the level of Brahm.' 

Maharishi went on to explain how different aspects of Veda and Vedic 
Literature reveal the delicate mechanics of Veda and how it expresses 
itself as, and administers, the entire universe in perfect order and 
harmony. 

Maharishi brought to light for the first time how the Brahma Sutras are 
a commentary on the Sandhi (gaps) of the Veda, expressing the dynamism 
of Natural Law present in the gaps, and forming the thread (Sutra) 
which links together all the Shabda (sounds) of the Veda as one 
infinite, unified whole—Brahm. 

Maharishi further identified two aspects of the structure of Brahm—Gyan 
Shakti (non-expressed Brahm), and Kriya Shakti (expressed Brahm)—and 
explained how the delicate balance between the two is the subject 
matter of the six Vedangas and six Upangas. These aspects of Vedic 
Literature describe not only the entire movement of Natural Law as it 
evolves in both forward and backward directions, but also the non-
moving junction point around which all movement takes place. It is at 
this junction point, located in the unmanifest, Transcendental field, 
that the supreme governing intelligence of Natural Law—Raam—resides. 

Maharishi further explained how the moving and non-moving aspects of 
Veda express themselves in two distinct modes: in mathematical terms as 
the number system (which is static, non-moving), and in the flow of 
language (which moves). 

'So what we got today in the third day of Puja to Guru Dev? The origin 
of the Constitution of the Universe. Whether we take the Constitution 
as expressed in the mathematical language of numbers and equations, or 
take it in the language level which flows. Who does this demarcation? 
The question is this. Who is that intelligence? From where all this is 
organized? There is one word: Raam. And Raam Brahm Paramarath Rupa' 
(Raam is Brahm—Totality, embodiment of Transcendental Reality). At this 
point in his discourse, Maharishi reminded everyone that with the Grace 
of Guru Dev, we have the gift of Transcendental Meditation and the TM-
Sidhi Programme, which reveal this Raam, this Brahm—Totality on the 
most delicate level of individual awareness, Transcendental 
Consciousness. 

Maharishi emphasized that the Constitution of the Universe—Veda—is not 
man-made: it is 'Nitya—eternal, and Apaurusheya—not influenced by any 
individual'. 

Maharishi also recounted how, during the Puja performed by the Vedic 
Pandits, he had realized the true meaning of a saying that he had heard 
long ago from a saint in India: 'Dashamas Tvam Asi—Thou art the Tenth'. 
Maharishi explained that 'the Tenth' refers to Purusha—the Totality of 
Natural Law which encompasses simultaneously all the eight aspects of 
the manifest universe (known in Veda as the eight Prakritis), together 
with the unmanifest field of Transcendental Consciousness (the ninth or 
Para Prakriti). Marvelling at how he had recalled this saying all his 
life, only for its true meaning to be revealed on this beautiful 
occasion, Maharishi commented: 'This is Vedic civilization. Some word 
will click sometime and it will give the Totality. Just as today, this 
Dashamas Twam Asi, Thou art The Tenth. I was talking of Purusha and all 
that, but today it clicked.' 

Reflecting on the significance of this revelation of pure knowledge 
during the Vedic performance on the third day of Raam Nomi, Maharishi 
said: 'So today we got the instrument to administer our world as 
efficiently as our ever-expanding universe. Unbounded, unlimited, ever-
expanding universe is being governed by the Constitution of the 
Universe—the Veda—Veda, the ruler; Raam, the embodiment of Brahm, the 
ruler.' 

'This comes to us in order that our promise to the world for the Rule 
of Raam is going to be realistic for the transformation of all life in 
the family of nations.' 

'This is the Grace of Guru Dev. We are always remembering and in that 
we take relief and recourse and we refresh our breath. And on such 
occasions as this Puja to Guru Dev in the introduction to Puja to 
Brahm, in Puja to Raam, we got the whole package of the Constitution of 
the Universe delivered to us. And it came from the Tradition that we're 
holding this Constitution throughout time.'
