Maharshi Mahesh Yogi has propounded (developed) a simple system of meditation
called Transcendental Meditation (TM). Meditation, in general, helps in regulating
thoughts and establishing a sense of peace in the mind of the particener. There are
many types of meditation in India. Some people meditate using OM, some focus on
Jyoti, some by worship an idol. Concentration is involved in all these meditations
which make them strenuous. It is said that meditation is like floating on the surface
of a pond, contemplation is like swimming on the surface and TM is like diving
deep into the pond-from the outer surface to deep inside the water.
TM does not involve concentration or contemplation. Using this method the mind
experiences subtler (finer) state of thought and eventually transcends (goes beyond)
all thoughts. In TM the mind experiences a kind of freshness where all mental and
physical tensions are removed. The qualities of energy, positivity and creativity then
manifest (appear) in the mind or consciousness.
TM moves our mind from the surface of life to the depth of our Being. By this
method, the conscious mind takes a dive into the deeper levels of consciousness and
this makes the surface value of the mind more powerful. The thought waves become
more powerful. When the thought force is powerful, the whole life becomes powerful.
Human life is just a play of the mind. If the mind is weak, life is weak,
accomplishments are weak and problems and tragedies increase. If the mind is strong,
thoughts force is strong, accomplishments are greater and tragedies do not occur.
TM ensures the connection of the outer life with the inner value of Being. This
makes all the avenues of outer life to become positive and worthwhile. In other
words, through TM the outer conscious mind can get access to the inner glories of
life. We are able to experience the innermost core of personality – that field which is
the source of all wisdom, all peace, all happiness and all creativity.
In TM the mind experiences subtler states of thought and eventually transcends all
thoughts. Our existence is rejuvenated and all mental and physical tensions are
removed. The mind becomes peaceful, disciplined and controlled.
