Samhita

Description: 'Those who practise Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation experience these qualities of consciousness in their own Transcendental Consciousness. 'In its 'self-referral' state, or transcendental state, consciousness knows itself alone; as such, it is the knower of itself. By being the knower of itself, it is also the object of knowledge, and the process of knowing. Thus, in its self-referral state, consciousness is the unified state of knower, knowing, and known. 'In the Vedic language this 'three-in-one' structure of consciousness is called Samhita of Rishi, Devata, and Chandas—Samhita (unity) of Rishi (knower), Devata (dynamism of the process of knowing), and Chhandas (the known).' —Maharishi, Inaugurating Maharishi Vedic University, 1996. https://excellenceinaction.globalgoodnews.com/2008/08-dec/dec2.html
