One step in this inward direction toward the ocean of happiness inside and the mind finds increasing charm. This increasing charm attracts the mind by itself. The mind is pulled by the gravity of great happiness in that direction. It is a spontaneous march of the mind inward towards the field of bliss. It does not require any concentration or control of the mind.
Concentration brings tension.
Concentration is a static process. Transcendental Meditation is a dynamic process that takes the mind from grosser levels to subtler levels of thought. It requires just the desire to learn, and as anything is learned from a teacher, so, too, Transcendental Meditation is learned from a teacher. For these past 40 years, millions of people have learned Transcendental Meditation and they are gaining enlightenment. Enlightenment means lack of darkness, absence of darkness.
