Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

If you are open with someone, he will be open with you. If you want love from someone, give your love to him. If you want kind and sympathetic behavior from someone, be kind and sympathetic to him.

Know what you want, decide when you want it, figure your plan of action, follow through on it, and never doubt.

The genius of man is hidden in the silent, settled state of mind from where every thought emerges.

Meditation is the direct means of eradicating the very cause of the majority of diseases, both mental and physical.

The whole purpose of life is to gain enlightenment. _x000D_ Nothing else is significant compared to that completely natural, exalted state of consciousness. _x000D_ So always strive for that. _x000D_ Set your life around that goal. _x000D_ Don't get caught up in small things, and then it will be yours.

Problems are not solved on the level of problems. Analyzing 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.

If one is not happy, one has lost the very purpose of life.

Problems will disappear as darkness disappears with the onset of light.

Transcendental Meditation opens the awareness to the infinite reservoir of energy, creativity, and intelligence that lies deep within everyone.

Do not base your life on the likings and dislikings or whims of others. What you are in life - whether you enjoy or suffer - it is your own responsibility. Be regular in your meditation and do not postpone for a later date your striving for God consciousness.

The goal of the Transcendental Meditation technique is the state of enlightenment. This means we experience that inner calmness, that quiet state of least excitation, even when we are dynamically busy.

Individual potential of life is cosmic potential. Individual is divine deep inside. Transcendental experience awakens that divinity in man. And when you kill a man you deprive him of that birthright of it.

Being happy is of the utmost importance. Success in anything is through happiness.

If a man can permanently establish his awareness in contact with that pure field (of consciousness), then problems wither away. It's a very simple thing. When the light comes, then where is the darkness?

Love opens all doors, no matter how tightly closed they may be, no matter how rusty from lack of use. Your work is to bring unity and harmony, to open all those doors which have been closed for a long time. Have patience and tolerance. Open your heart all the time.

The kingdom of heaven is like electricity. You don't see it. It is within you.

Meditation is a means to discover all the glories of the ocean of mind

We have an infinite number of reasons to be happy, and a serious responsibility not be serious.

Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower, and draws all good things toward you.

The Self of everyone, the Atma of everyone, the transcendental field of reality of everyone, is the same in everyone. Whether the body calls itself an American, German, Indian or Chinese, it doesn't matter.

Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower and draws all good things towards you.
