    In this story, the Guru teaches his disciple how to achieve success in his meditation. The disciple puts his attention on the thing he loves the most and effortlessly gains union with it. In Transcendental Meditation, there is no effort involved because we only use the natural tendency of the mind to move in the direction of increasing happiness. Pure consciousness is a state of unbounded bliss and inner peace, and it can easily be experienced by everyone.

    Consciousness is the inner wakefulness of the mind which allows us to experience life. There are different levels of consciousness from the surface, active level to quieter, more silent levels. The deepest level of consciousness is pure consciousness. The technique of Transcendental Meditation allows us to experience pure consciousness easily and effortlessly.
