Developing GC Rishikesh, 1968 MAHARISHI: ...In our meditation as our mind becomes finer and finer, mind becomes acquainted with the finer regions of the mantra, finer regions, before it actually transcends finest, that finest region. When our mind becomes sharp enough to experience that, then the details of that finer realm will come to our experience directly.
And that will be the experience of that life which is there on the highest level of creation. And that life is called celestial life - life of celestial beings. And the world of celestial beings is the world of Gods. There in that world the joy is maximum, the understanding is maximum, the power and performance is maximum. This reality of the finest strata of creation presents the conception - it has become a conception, no more a reality now, because no one knows, no one realizes, so it remains as if it is a human conception. The mind of man conceives that there is something. When we call it conception of Gods, then the reality of Gods vanishes. What remains is only an ideological imaginary gesture. But the story of Gods is not an imaginary gesture of man. It is the world of highest calibre, of maximum grace, of maximum power, of maximum intelligence. It is the reality of existence only when we become familiar with what is there at the subtlest level of thought. Subtlest level of thought corresponds with subtlest level of creation. So when the mind through many times meditating and coming out - when the mind becomes familiar with that region, then it becomes capable of direct perception of the details of that region. And that direct perception of celestial beings is so enormously fascinating that it transforms man's vision of earthly life to this celestial light of the world of Gods. And then, when the vision is modified, then the world of man is enjoyed in the light of celestial field. And that adds to the grace and glory of human existence, that the world of man is viewed and perceived and behaved in the celestial light. And that is the display of a God-realized man - display of GC [God-Consciousness]. The transformation of the vision of man by the direct perception of that celestial grandeur, beauty, grace par excellence - coming face to face with that light effulgent, which if it can be described, as brighter than the brilliancy of any conceivable light. The glamour of it, the beauty of it, the charm of it, the overwhelming influence of that experience fills the man with that influence of celestial field, that the whole vision gets overwhelmed. And when it gets overwhelmed by that positive experience of par excellence in grace and grandeur, beauty and charm and its just glamour, then the vision changes as if a man who was so far using the green glasses and viewing everything green around him, the glasses are changed and now they are golden glasses. And then the vision through the golden glasses is all golden instead of green. There is a difference in the green and golden glasses. This direct perception of the details of the finest region of relative creation is responsible for transforming man's vision into the vision of GC….
