Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

It's as if we live in a house which has a vast treasury in one of its rooms. Only we've forgotten about it. So, instead of living a life of royalty, we go about in poverty.

The important thing is this: to be able, at any moment, to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.

In the United States we have the great Harvard Business School, but America is the country with the greatest debt in the world.

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

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.

Transcendental meditation is something that can be defined as a means to do what one wants to do in a better way, a right way, for maximum results.

Monks are not expected to speak about themselves; the message is important, not the person.

Great amount of scientific research is there to show that health is better because transcendental meditation deals with consciousness, and consciousness is the basic value of all the physical expressions. The entire creation is the expression of consciousness.

There is one unity, unified wholeness, total natural law, in the transcendental unified consciousness.

In the process of evolution, the body lasts for some time and then will take other body and take other body and take other body until the final redemption from diversity is transcended.

I want to eliminate the basis of problems and basis of crime, and basis of terrorism.

The constitution of the universe is total natural law. 'Natural law,' we say from the field of science. 'Will of God,' we say from the field of religion. It's the same thing.

What we have done, the result of that comes to us whenever it comes, either today, tomorrow, hundred years later, hundred lives later, whatever, whatever. And so, it's our own karma. That is why that philosophy in every religion: Killing is sin. Killing is sin in every religion.

Life finds its purpose and fulfillment in the expansion of happiness.

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

Whatever we put our attention on will grow stronger in our life.
