We have seen that the mind and body are intimately connected: the improved condition of one brings about the improved condition of the other. In the same way, a healthier, happier individual improves the quality of his environment, and a better environment enriches the individual. |

Everyone lives his life through the cycles of routine work—whether he is a student, a working adult, or retired—the whole population is living life through routine work, and routine work in daily life does not provide an opportunity for the full expression of Creative Intelligence. This lack of opportunity to display creativity causes frustration and becomes the basis of all antisocial behaviour. Transcendental Meditation helps the awareness to transcend boundaries and go beyond the field of limitations. This is how Transcendental Meditation—providing the opportunity to create unboundedness, infinity, eternity—satisfies the inner creativity and inner genius of life by providing an opportunity for the full expression of Creative Intelligence. |

In order to give, one must possess. One can give only from what one has. One radiates what one is, just as a fully lit bulb radiates maximum light. Transcendental Meditation develops Bliss Consciousness—unbounded awareness—and provides the ground for maximum giving. Transcendental Meditation fills the cup of life to overflowing. On this basis behaviour thrives and brings waves of increasing joyfulness. |

Behaviour unites. The quality of the union or relationship depends upon the quality of those who are coming together. 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. |
|
7. | Behaviour is the expression of love. Love is the impulse of life. Love arises more from a full heart and spreads softness and all good in our surroundings. Scientific research has shown that those qualities of life which naturally enrich behaviour and make life more fruitful in every way develop through the regular practice of Transcendental Meditation. |
|
8. | Behaviour is reciprocal. The universe reacts to individual action: ‘As you sow, so shall you reap.’ Through every thought, word, and action, we are producing influences that affect our surroundings. Physics explains that everything in the universe is constantly influencing every other thing. Nothing exists in isolation. It is everyone’s responsibility to behave in such a way that one’s behaviour produces a life-supporting influence for all. Development of the tender qualities of life are the prerequisite to life-supporting behaviour. That is why ideal behaviour requires the development of higher states of consciousness through the development of Pure Consciousness, which is easily achieved through the practice of Transcendental Meditation. |
