Growth of Ideal Social Behaviour
Behavior arises as a means to fulfil one’s needs; it
is necessary that behavior meets with success. Behavior
depends upon the ability to evaluate, which depends upon
the ability to appreciate, which depends upon the quality
of the mind and heart. Ideal social behavior is based on
giving to others. In order to naturally give to others through
one’s speech, actions, and behaviour, one has to feel inner
fullness and contentment.
The Transcendental Meditation Program restores balance
to the mind and body, giving deep rest and the direct experience
of the field of inner bliss, harmony, and unity. Appreciation
of oneself, of others, and of the environment increases;
and as a result, one’s behaviour is more helpful, more useful,
more compassionate, and more progressive.
A healthy, happy individual improves the quality of his
environment, and a better environment in turn enriches the
individual. The individual has a very real influence on
the life of society, of the nation, of the world. Transcendental
Meditation improves the quality of life of the individual
and develops ideal social behaviour.
Behaviour is the expression of the inner quality of life,
the inner quality of consciousness. Acting from the level
of unbounded awareness, developed through Transcendental
Meditation, harmony dominates in our behaviour.
