Maharishi Mahesh Yogi quotes

Quotes

Transcendental meditation is something that can be defined as a means to do what one wants to do in a better way, in a right way, for maximum results. It’s a program that the mind begins to experience its own finer impressions, finer thoughts, and then finally transcends the finest thought. And that is the level of what they call self-referral pure consciousness, which is the ultimate reality of life, pure intelligence from where the creation emerges, from where the administration of life is maintained, from where physical expression of the universe has its basis.
