Anything that is helpful to life, anything that will save life from pains and suffering and all those difficulties, that is - that is our intention, to have a better world created. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

Enlightenment is not a destination but a journey. It is a process of continually expanding our awareness and experiencing more of the infinite reality of life. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

Being is the basis of all living, just as without the sap and root there would be no tree. If we can take care of the sap the whole tree will be taken care of. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

It is the purity of man’s heart and mind, and his innocent and faithful approach to action with the purpose of all good to everyone, which really succeeds in yielding maximum results with minimum effort. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

If world peace is to be established, peace in the individual must be established first. Transcendental Meditation directly brings peace in the individual life. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

Life is all business. We never use our time, energy, speech, or ability to do something that doesn't help us grow and improve our life. It’s not worth it. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

Being is like a limitless ocean of life, silent and ever-existing in the same status. The different aspects of creation can be taken to be as ripples and waves of the vast ocean of eternal Being. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

All freedom to man, but freedom is useful when we know what life is, when we know what past is, what present is, when we know how to go about things, not that every man should be left to experiment by himself. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

Nature's government spontaneously brings satisfaction to everyone because it promotes all innumerable, diverse tendencies of life in the evolutionary direction. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

The most important relationship we have is the one we have with ourselves. We must learn to love and accept ourselves before we can love and accept others. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

Analysing a problem to find its solution is like trying to restore freshness to a leaf by treating the leaf itself, whereas the solution lies in watering the root. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

Unless an action is rightly thought out and its steps rightly planned, every stage of its performance will probably remain vague and therefore unsatisfactory for the doer and all those concerned. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

By the regular practice of Transcendental Meditation supplemented by the power of charity and virtuous deeds, the negative influence of past karma can be counteracted and the path of present karma smoothed. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

Be as delicate as possible. If communication accomplishes something on the gross but damages something on the level of feeling then it is a spiritual loss! The feeling is more important for life. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

Meditation is the most effective form of relaxation. It not only relaxes the body and mind but also feeds them with vital energy, peace and happiness. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

Enjoy your life and be happy. Being happy is of the utmost importance. Success in anything is through happiness. More support of nature comes from being happy. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

Happiness is not something that can be pursued. It must ensue as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a course greater than oneself. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

As brain functioning becomes more and more integrated, consciousness - the mind - becomes more and more invincible, and then any dictate of the mind is immediately followed by the body. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

The harmony between the vibrations of the body and the vibrations of the mantra, the harmony between them decides the suitability of the mantra to the individual. #MaharishiMaheshYogi

Fulfilment is structured in achievement, Achievement is structured in action, Action is structured in thinking, Thinking is structured in knowledge, Knowledge is structured in consciousness #MaharishiMaheshYogi
