When I picked up the book Celebrating Perfection in Administration, I was expecting to find a few points on how to administer in a more perfect way,
something that in my role as an administrator I was eager to know. When I opened the cover and saw the subtitle, "Politics is a pious profession," I was curious--this sounded like an oxymoron, yet I was intrigued.

By the time I finished the book, my awareness had been expanded from the trivia of day-to-day administration to the perfect administration that takes
place in our cosmos at every second through automation in administration through Natural Law. I was inspired to have a glimpse of what national administration could be--to see the beautiful results that a government could provide for its people. Not only did I now see that there is the possibility
to simplify everything and have ideal administration of every area of life, but I realized that I could easily adopt and implement these principles myself.

How? The key concept seemed to be consciousness--collective consciousness and
individual consciousness. By handling that, everything else could be managed. How to do it? The Transcendental Meditation technique (TM) was the key. The
knowledge in the book was empowering, but the knowledge I gained of myself by learning TM was a whole other level of power. I could see that if everyone had access to this, that all administration could be perfect, and, yes, politics could really be a pious profession!

Whether one administers a nation, a state, a city, or a few people, the knowledge in this book is essential, and the secret to living the knowledge is practicing Transcendental Meditation.

Celebrating Perfection in Administration provides a practical handbook for how to align human administration with the perfection of Nature's administration.

Think about it. (Maharishi inspires you think about things in ways you've never thought about them before.) Do the planets collide in space? What maintains them in their perfect orbits? What governs the cycles of day and night so reliably? Every day we take for granted the perfect orderliness of Nature's functioning.

Throughout the book, Maharishi demonstrates how each area of government administration-education, health, etc.-can be made vastly more successful by aligning the awareness of the administrators (and the people they are administrating) with Nature's own unlimited intelligence. He presents the example of the Indian Government today. India is not utilizing this key secret of Nature's functioning, even though this knowledge is available in India's own Vedic heritage.

Maharishi's insights have sliced through centuries of the loss of Vedic Knowledge--the oldest and most complete tradition of knowledge in the world--and brought this timeless wisdom of totality of life into the present, where it is sorely needed. He provides a practical formula here to make the administration of modern India perfect--a formula so universal that it could easily be applied to every other nation.

Even if, like me, you're not directly involved in government administration, the book is still fascinating and relevant. Maharishi defines administration much more broadly than most of us would. After reading Celebrating Perfection in Administration, I realized that each of us--whatever our walk of life--is involved in administration every day. We administer every aspect of our own lives, and how perfectly we do this determines how successful and efficient we are in fulfilling our desires.

Seeing Maharishi's vision of how perfect every kind of administration can be, I felt deeply motivated to apply this wisdom to administer my own life more and more perfectly--and I felt deeply grateful that someone living on earth today is bringing out knowledge that can restore perfection to human life.
