He's quietly kept enjoying his daily TM practice ever since.
I think it's amazing how many people practice Transcendental Meditation every day, year after year. I think I know how they feel, and why they spend the time transcending every day–because it makes them feel more alive, more together, and better able to keep going and growing.
It reminds me of something Maharishi wrote in his book, The Science of Being and Art of Living:
"Expansion of happiness is the purpose of life, and evolution is the process through which it is fulfilled….
`
If one is not happy, one has lost the very purpose of life. If one not constantly developing his intelligence, power, creativity, peace and happiness, then he has lost the very purpose of life. Life is not meant to be lived in dullness, idleness, and suffering; these do not belong to the essential nature of life."
