Abstract

Ultra Transcendental Meditation (UTM) practice is secular in nature and makes no discrimination in respect of caste, colour, creed, costume, cuisine, custom, culture and conviction. Its real strength lies in refraining from age, gender, religion, race, language, and economic biases. It also looks beyond political identity and boundaries. The spirit of infinite joy of meditation pervades the entire tapestry of the society. Meditation is the main stream today that brings harmony and symphony among the residents of planet Earth. It doesn’t need any ritual but it takes a lot of effort to awaken a human being. Meditation requires patience and dedication, and it matures with perpetual training, practice and experience. The ‘eyes of the observer’ and the ‘mind of the seeker’ help in attaining mastery over the ‘art of meditation’ with meticulous guidance and with the passage of time. Mere knowledge of scriptures does not help in achieving the ultimate bliss. Mankind continues to seek happiness in the external things of life - in physical possessions, social positions, and personal powers. They are short-lived; they neither bring eternal happiness nor contentment; they result in greater cravings and aversions. Consequently, more and more people are suffering from neurosis, psychosis and psychosomatic ailments, because modern man is laden with emotional stress, frustration and anxieties debilitated with confrontation and sorrows. Perhaps meditation is a significant ingredient of spirituality, infinite bliss and panacea for good health and well-being.
