The Vedas: Source of the Subtle Science
by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Transcendental Meditation is a Path to God

“All Good in life, all Righteousness results from God Consciousness or nearness to God. God should be presented first and from out of that would come Religious life, all good life, all righteous life, all sense of right doing. ...Without presenting God is just beating around the bush in the name of right doing and be right and be good and then when we become pure, the gates of Heaven will be open for us. You cannot become pure without the Light of God!

No man, no Christian should ever suffer, because Christ, being his/her Savior, has promised the Kingdom of Heaven is within you. People ask me about Christ and how can we find this teaching in the Bible? Bible teaches this, Vedas teach this, Upanishads teach this, Islam religion teaches this, Buddhism teaches this; this fundamental experience.

God is the driver of life and He should be brought first... if the life is brought first and God left behind; lead a life like this and be pure in life, then, where is God? He lies behind.

What is necessary is this Meditation and gaining clearer Vision in life, greater intelligence, more creative intelligence, and more of the Inner Being to come In life. The increasing Presence of God Within us. ..No, it is not the thought of God that is going to help. It is the content of the Godhead, it is our direct relationship with Him, it is out attunement with Him, it is our Cognition of Him that is going to help...First thing Meditation and clear experience of Being in Meditation which gives us what we are, the cognition of what the God Omni-Present is. Knowing ourselves and knowing our Lord, we are free and better off wherever we may be, no matter where we are.

The Kingdom of God

It is simple and easy and this was what Christ said:
'But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you'.
If Christ had not thought that God Consciousness is easy to attain, He would not have said the word: First!

'First ye seek the Kingdom of God.'

It should be possible for the followers of Christ, ...and so too it is true for the followers of Buddha, and followers of Krishna, Mohammed and all, it does not matter who. But it should be taken in right earnest, everybody has the capacity, everybody has it, has his/her own God within himself-herself.

If someone tries to find God outside, fine, outside is also He. Find Him anywhere. It is easier to find one near than to find one far. Gain that Consciousness through morning and evening practice and thereby Gain that State of Being.

This is the Crest of Vedic Wisdom which is the Essence of Christianity, Essence of Buddhism, Essence of Islam, Essence of any life.”
