You say that Transcendental Meditation is a program for the mind. What
is its relationship to the intellect?
Maharishi:
Transcendental Meditation does not involve intellect. Transcendental
Meditation is an experience of the mind, from the active levels to the
unified level. It's just an innocent experience of active mind and an
innocent experience of settled mind, silent mind.
Through certain other meditation practices, however, particularly those
in which the intellect seeks God through recalling the qualities or
names or virtues of God, the intellect is stimulated and begins to
thrive. It does so increasingly in the presence of God, in the glory of
God, in the dignity of God, in the grace of God, in the merciful nature
of God. There may then come a point where intellect is in its natural
state and comprehends the unbounded awareness of God, the merciful
nature of God, the presence of God. The intellect, through pursuing God
intellectually, can recognize its natural status as the mind wakes up to
its unboundedness.
