Transcendental Meditation - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at Lake Louise, Canada, 1968

http://www.tm.org Transcendental Meditation explained by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at Lake Louise, Canada 1968. This historic talk brings understanding to the nature of inner life. Maharishi says that practicing the Transcendental Meditation Technique is a way to help dissolve stresses and to quickly enjoy life to the maximum.

Transcript:

Maharishi: "The depth of the lake, and the ripples, and the beautiful reflection of the glacier, reminds me of the story of inner life. The mind is deep like a lake, the ripples on the surface represent the conscious mind, the activity of the mind on the surface. And the whole depth of the lake is silent and that is the sub conscious mind which is not used by the wave. But if, the wave could deepen, and incorporate more silent levels of the water, the waves could become the waves of the ocean - the mighty waves. This is what happens in Transcendental Meditation. The surface activity of the conscious mind deepens and incorporates within its fold the depth of the sub conscious. Nothing remains sub conscious the whole sub conscious becomes conscious and a man starts using the full potential of the mind. And the reflection of the glacier on the water is like the impression that the objects of the mind perceives and as long as the mind is not capable of maintaining its essential nature which is bliss consciousness, so long the mind gets imprinted by the perceptions of the objects and this is called the bondage of the mind..."

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi goes on to say: "...Such a life where the value of the matter dominates is called material life and the spirit gets annihilated. But when through the practice of Transcendental Meditation the mind goes deep within to the source of thought, transcends the thought and gains bliss consciousness and is capable of maintaining that, even when it comes out into the worldly experiences of objective nature, then it is called spiritual life. That the spirit is not capable of being overshadowed anymore by the objective experience and this is spiritual life, this is life in eternal liberation and without this life is in bondage..."

Maharishi: "...What is needed is the bliss out of Transcendental Meditation, the joy, the happy mood. If all the population of the people could practice Transcendental Meditation they will enjoy all this nature to the maximum. We are going to create a society free from suffering and stress and strain and then really the gift of God on Earth, such pretty nature, will be enjoyed by everyone."

Lake Louise, Canada was a very beautiful place for Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to give this profound lecture...

[TMPRAHA]

I like the analogy of mind and waves and depth of the ocean, and with practice and experience understand more and more how it is necesary to have both in conscious mind. Only this is whole life- material and spiritual both together, one enriching the other. Thanks to Maharishi and Tradition of Vedic Masters that owns and upholds and gives this Knowledge of integrated life to the whole world.

I am a student at Maharishi University of Management. It's an incredible place to be and grow as a human being. I am currently studying video production in the Media and Communications department. Two years ago I never thought I'd be practicing TM and achieving all of these incredible benefits. Jai Guru Dev.

@mrceebees14 You need to accept the opening of those files, and take your time to really think about each one of them, stop running theres nothing going after you, just relax and take your time and think about them from an outside of the box point of view. As if you were a spectator instead of the actor. All the answers are within yourself. You will find your own way to clear your mind, trust me. Just dont worry and take your time, relax and open your heart to who you truly are.

Now I know where they got the idea of Yoda and his teachings from!

[mrceebees14]

Is it possible to meditate and be scared because of what you find? Meditation seems like focus of the mind which opens up files that you might have forgotten or wanted to forget. For some I think this would scare them to even try because they are hiding things.

im crying to see Maharishi, he's.. awesome!

I would use the full potential of my mind to have as many people as possible laugh and smile as much as possible. I want to infect the world with laughter, and I would never create a cure.
