Maharishi gives an inspiring vision of how the TM technique can transform modern life to strengthen and balance every phase of human existence: “There is nothing a Meditator can’t do because he is open to the infinite.”
Question: How do individuals fulfill their potential through the practice of TM?
Answer: Every individual is born with that great potentiality that is hidden within one’s self. Through meditation we take our attention to that, bring that unboundedness to our awareness, live every phase of life with that awareness, and thereby strengthen every phase of relative existence with this light of the Absolute.
Question: What is the tendency of life, what is the nature of life?
Answer: Inner area is absolute; outer area is relative. Outer area is always aspiring for more and more. That means outer area is always flowing towards the infinite. Inner is the infinite unbounded, and therefore what we find in this is outer life is always moving towards the inner, and this is its nature. The inner Absolute is inviting the outer; the outer relative is proceeding towards the inner.
