Credo For Meditation
The Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is the founder of the Transcendental Meditation technique. Meditation can help you on your path of self-discovery and self-fulfillment. It can also help the wider community, the environment, and effect global situations for the better.
“TM – How To Find Peace Of Mind Through Meditation” is a book by Martin Ebon, published by Signet USA in 1975. Martin begins the book with “A Credo For Meditation” by the Maharish Mahesh Yogi, and I want to talk about the wonderful meaning in this Credo.
The essence of it is that if Meditation was practiced twice a day by only one per cent of the population, that would be enough to change things for the better. One per cent of the population meditating in every country of the world will bring about Peace. The Maharishi says in the Credo:
“A good time for the world is coming; now a few people in any country will be able to change the destiny of their nation for all good. One per cent of the people in any country can herald the dawn of the new age for the whole nation by devoting only 15 minutes of their time, twice a day.
It is in the hands of a few individuals in every country today to change the direction of time and guide the destiny of their nation for all harmony, happiness, and progress.
It is my joy to invite everyone to come into the light of the knowledge and experience that the Science of Creative Intelligence provides and enjoy participating in this global awakening to herald the Age of Enlightenment.”
I take the liberty to quote this Credo from the opening page of Martin Ebon’s book: These are the words of wisdom from the master of Transcendental Meditation himself, and I think that it is valuable for people to read his prayer in his original words.
So – we must get on with it and begin practicing Meditation on a regular basis, if we are not already doing that. It is necessary, for world Peace and Harmony, for us as individuals, to make a conscious effort to bring about change. When many of us bring to mind this need for Peace and Harmony, this concerted effort has great power in that it changes the vibrations around us. This change in vibration has an effect on the invisible ether which covers the whole world, and so all minds are effected by it for the good.
