“Success in anything is through happiness”

— Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

“The bliss is already there, it is only necessary to calm down the wanderings of the mind.
The man without steady thought has no peace; for one without peace how can there be happiness?
Unless there is peace, how can there be happiness?
By contrast, the converse of this statement is not true.”

— Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

“The integrated man is established in the Self, and by virtue af this, even when he acts in the field of the senses and experiences their objects, he is not lost in them; maintaining his status in Being, he quite naturally maintains evenness of mind. His sense of values is balanced Acting in the world, he is not lost in it. He is above attachment and detachment, contented in himself, not bound by anything.”

— Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

“The realized man is awake in the light of the Self, while the ignorant is awake in the light of the senses. The realized man is awake in the light of absolute bliss; the ignorant in the light of relative joys of perishable nature.”

— Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
