Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Quotes for these Challenging Times
[Updated Sept 13, 2020] Timeless advise on the pandemic from one of the past century’s most influential gurus from the East.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (1918–2008) brought the practice of Transcendental Meditation (“TM”) to the world and was the meditation teacher and guru of the Beatles and the Beach Boys, among many other celebrities in his day. I learned TM in 1974 and consider it the most beneficial life-practice that I have ever done. Below are some of my favorite quotes from Maharishi, which I think offer some insight into his teachings and how they might apply to the COVID-19 pandemic and other challenges of what I like to call “the great global transition of 2020”.
(1) How to interpret the challenges that the world faces in 2020:
“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.”
“The world is as we are.” and “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.”
