‘My Philosophy of Government locates the Absolute Government, Supreme Government, at the unmanifest basis of creation, where the field of pure intelligence, the Absolute, fully awake in its pure singularity, ever remaining self-referral, administers itself through the Principle of Least Action.

Absolute administration, perfect administration, is the phenomenon of self-interaction, where the Self administers itself.

The state of least action is at the basis of perfect administration. It is clear that absolute administration, perfect administration, is not the phenomenon of action, it is the phenomenon of least action. If it is action, it is self-interaction—Self interacting with itself—Self administering itself. Self-Rule is the reality of absolute administration; it is the ideal of administration.’

Government
A Phenomenon of Knowledge

‘Perfect administration is the phenomenon of knowledge; it is the phenomenon of knowing; it is the phenomenon of knowingness; it is the phenomenon of least action, which is the phenomenon of the self-interacting dynamics of the self-referral state of consciousness.

Absolute administration, perfect administration, is the phenomenon of the self-interacting dynamics of consciousness; it is the phenomenon of the self-interacting dynamics of intelligemce, which is the structure of pure knowledge and its infinite organizing power, where the Self administers itself.

Immortal, eternal, perfect administration of Natural Law is the phenomenon of least action. Immortal, eternal, perfect administration is the the phenomenon of knowledge, it is the phenomenon of knowing, it is the phenomenon of knowingness, it is the phenomenon of intelligence; it is the phenomenon within the structure of one unbounded ocean of consciousness; it is the phenomenon of knowing when one unbounded ocean of consciousness, one unbounded ocean of intelligence, the intelligence of the Unified Field of Natural Law, eternally knows itself, and in the process of knowing, it assumes the qualities of knower, knowing, and known. Here is the absolute element of administration, where the singularity of pure knowledge, through its infinite orgnanizing power, administers the orderly evolution of all its diversified expressions in a perfectly integrated and balanced state.

In this phenomenon of perfect administration, all the diversified expressions of singularity spontaneously maintain connectedness with their source.

Here is the reality of perfect administration—maintenance of the evolution of diverse values on the basis of natural connectedness with their source in the self-referral, silent state of eternal Unity.

All fields of creation are the diverse projections of self-referral consciousness, and as they always maintain connectedness with their source, the entire field of diversity is the field of consciousness. That is why self-referral consciousness administering itself means the entire material universe is administered by consciousness.

This secret of administration of the universe from the unmanifest field of consciousness is expressed in a common proverb in India:

This is the eternal expression of absolute administration, all-time pure administration, all-time example of supreme quality of administration, supremely powerful administration, which in its self-sufficiency promotes the absolutely orderly functioning of the unbounded field of intelligence.

This is the perfect administration of the Government of Nature, which administers its territory through its own nature—unified state of Natural Law and diversified state of Natural Law—and eternally holds together all diversified values—all the Laws of Nature always held together in their integrated state, creating and maintaining the infinitely orderly creation of the ever-expanding universe.’
