Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Quotes about Nature

  • Consciousness is the basis of all life and the field of all possibilities. Its nature is to expand and unfold its full potential. The impulse to evolve is thus inherent in the very nature of life.
  • Nature is favourable to our effort when human awareness is being established more and more in pure consciousness.
  • The practice of Transcendental Meditation creates a natural situation in the mind so that the mind entertains right thoughts, useful thoughts, thoughts that are cherished by nature and whose fulfillment is worked out by all the laws of nature.
  • The nature of life is to grow.
  • Experience shows that Being is the essential, basic nature of the mind; but, since It commonly remains in tune with the senses projecting outwards toward the manifested realms of creation, the mind misses or fails to appreciate its own essential nature, just as the eyes are unable to see themselves.
  • Nature knows best how to organise.
  • Nature supports right action.
  • When the mind is attuned to the cosmic law, all the laws of nature are in perfect harmony with the aspirations of the mind.
  • Enjoy your life and be happy. Being happy is of the utmost importance. Success in anything is through happiness. More support of nature comes from being happy. Under all circumstances be happy, even if you have to force it a bit to change some long standing habits. Just think of any negativity that comes to you as a raindrop falling into the ocean of your bliss. You may not always have an ocean of bliss, but think that way anyway and it will help it come. Doubting is not blissful and does not create happiness. Be happy, healthy, and let all that love flow through your heart.
  • You are the master of all the laws of nature if you know the transcendental field.
  • The habit of quietly absorbing the shocks will be quite a great help to stabilize pure awareness. The technique is: Just feel not disturbed. The disturbing influence could be a blessing of Mother Nature to develop the habit to make best use out of every situation. Every situation is God Sent. With this supreme wisdom of life any situation can be used to our advantage and regarded as a blessing of Mother Nature.
  • Divine is all Love in its essential nature, and Love is all Divine in its truthful expression.
  • Nothing from outside can stop a man from enjoying lasting peace and permanent joy in life, for it is the essential nature of his own soul.
  • Decide what you want and don't think of the intermediary conditions. When Nature works for us we should want what we want and Nature will work it out for us.
