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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 United States influences government and life everywhere else.

The highest state is laughter.

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

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

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

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

To resolve problems through negotiation is a very childish approach.

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.

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

The basic fundamental of behaviour should be to give.

The secret of success is conviction and persistence.

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

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

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

The nature of life is to grow.

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.

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.

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

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

I think that the good and the great are only separated by the willingness to sacrifice.

The education of my brother and myself was of paramount importance to my parents, and in addition to their strong encouragement, they were prepared to make any sacrifice to further our intellectual development.

Too long a sacrifice can make a stone of the heart. O when may it suffice?

To be able to throw one's self away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a woman's smile - that is happiness.

In God's world, for those who are in earnest, there is no failure. No work truly done, no word earnestly spoken, no sacrifice freely made, was ever made in vain.
