Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

The secret of success is conviction and persistence.

Modern psychology has pointed to the need of educating people to use a much larger portion of the mind. Transcendental meditation fulfills this need. And it can be taught very easily.

My University of Management will create managers who will float in happiness, success and fulfillment.

When the conscious mind expands to embrace deeper levels of thinking, the thought wave becomes more powerful and results in added energy and intelligence.

Personal love is concentrated universal love.

If you believe in light, you'll be in light, you don't have to face darkness.

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

I am upset and completely disappointed in the government, the millionaires and billionaires in the U.S. See what's happening to the country? Look at all the health problems, the economy, the recession and crime.

Don't fight darkness - bring the light, and darkness will disappear.

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.

The philosophy of life is this: Life is not a struggle, not a tension... Life is bliss. It is eternal wisdom, eternal existence.

Ideal relationship is based on giving.

Integrated is the expression of knowledge: an assembly is significant in Unity: united are their minds in the silent dynamism of all possibilities.

If we remain undecided nothing will ever change.

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

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.

Problems or successes, they all are the results of our own actions. Karma. The philosophy of action is that no one else is the giver of peace or happiness. One's own karma, one's own actions are responsible to come to bring either happiness or success or whatever.

Doubts are death. Doubts are the dry rot of life.

The knowledge from an enlightened person breaks on the hard rocks of ignorance.

The basic fundamental of behaviour should be to give.

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

I let people make remarks about me, but it doesn't touch me, all those remarks.

On the platform of reality, on the platform of oneness of life, all differences dissolve.

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

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.

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

The highest state is laughter.

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.

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

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

Divine is all Love in its essential nature and Love is all Divine in its truthful expression.

From tiny, tiny waves of joy, one gets to the ocean of happiness, which is called bliss.

To resolve problems through negotiation is a very childish approach.

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.

The nature of life is to grow.

The United States influences government and life everywhere else.

Just think of any negativity that comes at you as a raindrop falling into the ocean of your bliss.

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.

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

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

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

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

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