Maharishi’s Absolute Theory of Defence Sovereignty in Invincibility Excerpts

Following are some excerpts from various chapters, with a link to the Table of Contents, to give a rich vision of the profound knowledge that is truly capable of securing invincibility for every nation.

The Invincible Force of Nature

‘The only effective defence is prevention; that means disallow the birth of an enemy; that means we must learn how to be friends with Nature, because Natural Law is the only invincible force. The nation can be invincible only when national life is behaving in accordance with all the Laws of Nature.’

How and Why Is the Enemy Born?

‘'How is the enemy born? The answer is very simple and can be summarized in a well-known phrase: “As you sow, so shall you reap”.’

‘If there are problems, examine your own situation, closely analyse your thoughts and actions, and make sure you are not violating Natural Law.’

‘Stopping the enemy at its source—at birth—is the best technology of defence. If he is born, he will grow and become a nuisance later.’

Efforts of 3,000 Years to Achieve World Peace

‘The principle of prevention has always been practised through negotiations and constantly trying to maintain friendly relations with others, but when one looks to the history of the efforts of different nations to prevent wars, the record is only disappointing.’

‘Since 1,000 BC there have been over 8,000 peace treaties, and each one lasted on average no more than nine years.’

‘The United Nations was established in 1945 to end wars and conflicts between nations once and for all. Since then there have been 150 major wars.’

‘It is clear that political negotiations, treaties, and the use of arms have never succeeded in creating a lasting state of world peace.’

What is the way out of this predicament?

‘Only a new philosophy and new efforts, based on new knowledge, will fulfil the age-old dream of the wise for prevention of wars and maintenance of world peace on a permanent basis.’

‘'It is obvious that world peace will be fragile if the element of relationship between nations is based on the man-made concepts of peace and harmony and the moods and whims of nations, as has been the case with the concept of the United Nations and all other well-meaning organizations.’

Invincible Defence: A Grand Formula for Prevention

‘The need for defence will not arise if there is no enemy; no enemy will be born to a nation that has an invincible national consciousness and radiates an indomitable, soothing influence of peace.’

‘The defence department of a government should have the ability to prevent problems. I want to give the defence department in every nation a formula and practical plan whereby the word “defence” will be honourably fulfilled.’

Invincibility: The Basis of Defence

‘The real basis of defence is invincibility.’

‘It is now possible for every individual to enliven this evolutionary power of Natural Law in his awareness and live invincibility in daily life, radiate invincibility in his environment, and spontaneously provide an invincible armour for the nation.’

‘When individuals radiate invincibility, the whole national consciousness becomes so strongly integrated that it is invincible. On this ground of invincibility the defence department of any country will have the natural, spontaneous ability to disallow the birth of an enemy, the final target of prevention—the absolute state of freedom.’

Maharishi’s Absolute Theory of Defence—
Sovereignty in Invincibility

‘Invincibility is the unique property of the field of absolute pure existence, or pure consciousness—Transcendental Consciousness.’

‘'When through the practice of my Transcendental Meditation individual awareness gains the state of this Transcendental Consciousness, the invincible coherence of the field of pure existence begins to be expressed in every impulse of thought and desire, and in every aspect of physiology and behaviour.’

‘When the national consciousness of every nation rises in coherence through the technologies of my Vedic Science, every nation will gain invincibility and war will become impossible.’

Entertaining Silence for Invincible Defence

‘This element of invincibility in the individual is lacking in the military command today, and that is why this whole structure of defence is fragile—it is not invincible, it is not reliable, it is solely dependent on outside resources.’

Securing Invincibility for the Government through a PREVENTION WING in the Military

‘All the areas of knowledge that uphold the invincibility of defence and constitute the Absolute Theory of Defence can be summarized in one simple phrase: Invincibility in Coherent National Consciousness— and all the programmes with reference to all the different principles of defence find their fulfilment in the establishment of a PREVENTION WING— an auxiliary defence force—in the military, powerful enough to demonstrate invincible defence and stop the birth of an enemy.’

Victory Before War: A Practical Strategy of Military Action

‘My offer is a very practical one. At almost no cost the military of any nation can become forever victorious and can make its nation invincible.’

Ultimate Defence Strategy

‘A PREVENTION WING in the military is the only saviour from space war, chemical war, biological war, and war strategy through genetic engineering.’'

‘It is no more a choice for any Military Chief; it is the absolute requirement of the defence ministry of any country. Any sense of scientific research in the field of defence must wake up to defence through the “Field Effect”—the Maharishi Effect.’

‘If the researchers in the field of defence do not wake up to this requirement, then they are only following the old, obsolete footprints of the scientific research of classical days. This must be abandoned now if the word “defence” is to have any significance, and if military power has any meaning for the defence of the nation.’

Time to End Obsolete Methods

‘Any government that continues to rely on military for defence, without creating a PREVENTION WING for the military, is living in a “fool’s paradise”! Such a nation will continue in waves of fear, and in weakness it will always have to depend on the goodwill of other nations’

‘My Absolute Theory of Defence, offering invincibility to every nation, will create conflict-free politics, problem-free governments, and a permanent state of world peace.’
