''I have had a very up-and-down life and things have gone wrong but this has been like a little candle. At first I thought it would magic away everything bad but that's not how it worked.
''Gradually my life changed—there were still ups and downs, but the ups were higher and the downs caused less distress and were less overshadowing.
''It became my guiding light—a small candle at the still centre. My paintings would not have developed the way they did if it had not been for TM.
''It has not been merely an inspiration but has increased my perception of what is really going on in nature, art and life itself.''
