intellectual acumen, etc. The process is usually gradual but noticeable nevertheless.”
Ideal RelationshipsWhat is the basis for ideal relationships? Maharishi points out that it is the principle of giving. When two people come together with the intention only to receive, then neither one gives nor receives. But when two people meet with the intention to give freely, then both give and receive the maximum. But we can only give from what we have. The Transcendental Meditation technique provides the foundation for more nourishing relationships by dissolving stress and broadening our awareness, allowing us to give more appreciation and love to family and friends. In the book Science of Being and Art of Living, Maharishi writes, “Really good social behavior between people will only be possible when their awareness is broadened, when they are able to see the whole situation, to understand each other more thoroughly, to be aware of each other’s need and attempt to fulfill that need. This naturally necessitates a fully developed consciousness, a right sense of judgment, and all the qualities that only a strong and clear mind possesses.” Scientific research verifies that people who practise the Transcendental Meditation technique experience less anger and stress, less anxiety and depression. They naturally express greater tolerance and patience, harmony, and happiness. They enjoy life more. |
